Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women - San Antonio

10/15/2025

Celebrating the Day of the Girl with the Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas was an incredible experience.

Angie Salinas, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas, introduced us to Kiana, a remarkable leader on their Girl Board. Kiana spent the day sharing her insights and experiences with every young girl who visited our table.

Our 2025 theme, “Her Story, Su Poder,” resonates deeply with Kiana. The Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women provided girls with journals, and Kiana emphasized the importance of their stories. D7 Commissioner Christine Chesnut provided yoga sessions for the girls as well.

The Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women takes pride in supporting our young women and looks forward to how we will contribute to our community in 2026.

Meeting Kiana was a highlight, and we are excited to see her growth in the coming years.

Support the Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas. Under Angie’s leadership, our girls are the only girls in Texas who learn the importance of strategic planning on a true leadership board. We are impressed with how we are building the future of Texas women.
