Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia is proud to announce that Mary Lynn Coyle has been selected as the 2023 Gainesville Woman of Distinction honoree.
The Girl Scouts Woman of Distinction award honors a woman who reflects the values in the Girl Scout Promise and Law and who serves as an excellent role model for girls. Coyle is the chair for the Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) board, a not-for-profit community health system dedicated to improving health and quality of life in Northeast Georgia.
Mary Lynn Coyle has been deeply involved in her community her entire life, born and raised in Gainesville and a daughter of one of the original physicians on staff of the medical center when it opened. As a member of The Medical Center Auxiliary, Mary Lynn co-chaired the first Marketplace in 1991. She was the first female layperson to serve on the Board of Trustees at Lanier Park Hospital and served on the unification committee when Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) acquired Lanier Park, where she became chair in 2007. Her contributions to the health system, dedication to her community, her passion for philanthropy, and intentionality for serving as a role model make her an ideal recipient for this honor.
Coyle will be honored during a luncheon on Wednesday, March 15, 2023, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Chattahoochee Country Club. Proceeds from the event will benefit Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia. Individual tickets are $100 and sponsorship opportunities are available. Questions about this annual event may be directed to LaDon Shaw, Chief Advancement Officer, in the Gainesville office at 888-689-1912.
