ANNUAL REPORT
Girls Incorporated®
of Omaha
WITH YOU
IN HER CORNER,
SHE WILL SUCCEED.
Victoria spent her childhood at Girls Inc. Now, she
is a total brainiac. And when we say brainiac, we
mean that literally. She will graduate with a degree
in neuroscience from the University of Nebraska
Omaha in 2015. Victoria credits Girls Inc. with
sparking her interest in brain science. “At Girls Inc.,
I participated in dance. I was always interested in
how the body moved and how my muscles responded
to commands from my brain. My current career path
definitely had seeds in my dancing days at Girls Inc.”
Victoria’s daughter, Zariyah, is proud to tell people “
My mom is a scientist!”
Now it’s Zariyah’s turn to be a Girls Inc. member.
Victoria can focus on completing her studies
knowing that Zariyah will find her own spark. Will
she be a scientist like her mom? An athlete? A
businesswoman? President of the United States?
Whatever the spark that ignites the fight in Zariyah
for the brilliant future she deserves, with you in her
corner, she will succeed.

LUNCH FOR THE GIRLS
#JennaAndBarbaraForPresident
Twins Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush, daughters
of President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush,
were the featured speakers at Lunch for the Girls 2014.
The women shared inside scoop about living in the White House and
growing up as the granddaughters, and then as the daughters, of sitting
presidents.
They talked about the importance of voting and told girls to consider
becoming political candidates. They encouraged girls to listen to mentors,
fiercely grab opportunities, and to follow their passion. Good advice from
some strong, smart, and bold role models.
