GSHG Announces 2026 Gainesville Woman of Distinction
December 09, 2025
GAINESVILLE, GA— Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia is proud to announce that attorney Kelly Anne Miles has been selected as the 2026 Gainesville Woman of Distinction, an honor recognizing a woman whose leadership and service reflect the values of the Girl Scout Promise and Law and make her an outstanding role model for today’s Girl Scouts and the broader community.
Miles, a nationally respected family law attorney, has dedicated more than 40 years advocating for Georgia families both inside and outside the courtroom. Beyond her professional accomplishments, she has invested deeply in strengthening the Gainesville-Hall County community. She is a founding and diamond member of WomenSource, Inc. and has served on the boards of many other civic and community organizations, including United Way of Hall County, Girls Incorporated of Northeast Georgia, North Georgia Community Foundation, Rape Response, Inc., Gateway House Domestic Violence Shelter, and Elachee Nature Science Center.
As a Girl Scout alum, Miles exemplifies the lifelong impact of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Her commitment to service, justice, and community echoes the values she learned as a young Girl Scout—values she now models for girls across Georgia.
Miles will be honored during the Gainesville Woman of Distinction luncheon on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, from 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. at Ramsey Conference Center at Lanier Technical College. Sponsorship opportunities are available, and tickets will be available soon. Questions about this annual event may be directed to Lindsay Woodson, community engagement manager for Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia, at 888-689-1912. ❧
