“Today’s work is the history of tomorrow, and we are its makers.” —Juliette Gordon Low

Born in 1860, Low created Girl Scouts, an organization that would empower millions of girls to become leaders and change makers. After meeting Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, during her time living in England, Low became inspired to bring a similar movement to American girls. She organized the first Girl Scout meeting on March 12, 1912, with 18 girls in Savannah, Georgia, calling them the “Girl Guides.” Low, like many female reformers, believed girls deserved the same opportunities as boys to develop practical skills, self-reliance, and leadership abilities.

Despite facing personal challenges including significant hearing loss and financial difficulties, she dedicated her fortune and energy to growing the organization nationwide. By the time of her death in 1927, Girl Scouts had grown to nearly 100,000 members.

The Girl Scouts of the USA have served over 50 million alumnae, a lasting testament to Low’s revolutionary vision that girls can do anything.

A Long Beach Utilities customer went out of their way to share a compliment for Gino:

"My name is Dr. K and I have been in the city of Long Beach since 2005. I own several multifamily units and have built several ADUs. I have had the privilege to work with one of your inspectors, Mr. Giovanni. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to work with such a caring and knowledgeable inspector, whose goal has always been to resolve issues, provide guidance, and complete your project in a timely manner. He has gone beyond anyone that I have experienced; he shows up at the site to guide your contractor to do the job in a proper manner. He has exceeded my expectations in every way. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for having such a dedicated individual on your team as an inspector, who truly deserves our praise. I feel very fortunate to work with him on all my current and future projects."
