Lise L. Luttgens has been selected as the Chief Executive Officer for the soon-to-be-formed Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles, effective Sept. 1.

Angeles Girl Scout Council, Girl Scout Council of Greater Long Beach, Girl Scouts – Joshua Tree Council, Girl Scouts – Mt. Wilson Vista Council, Girl Scouts – Spanish Trails Council, and Girl Scouts of the San Fernando Valley are participating in an ongoing merger process to form a single council that will serve Girl Scouts throughout the greater Los Angeles community and parts of San Bernardino County beginning Dec. 1.
A Palisadian since 1984, Luttgens received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Beloit College in Wisconsin, a master’s degree in public health (hospital administration) from Yale University’s School of Medicine, and an advanced fellowship in academic medical center administration from the University of Michigan. She completed the Executive Management Program from the UCLA Anderson Graduate School of Management and received certification from the College of Executive Coaching. Luttgens is vice president of the Board of Trustees of the Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House and past president of the Organization of Women Executives. Luttgens is a resident of the Palisades Highlands and the mother of a 19-year-old daughter currently attending Colorado College.
A former Girl Scout, Luttgens a founded the Los Angeles-based firm Luttgens & Associates, Inc., in 2001, which specializes in non profit and health care organizations.
“Leading during this time of transformation and creating a new structure for these young women is a wonderful next step,” Luttgens said. “I am very excited to be working with the existing CEOs, their staffs, and their boards to achieve a smooth transition and create a new vision for Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles.”
