Ruth N. Bramson, CEO, Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Boston Business Journal at their Advancing Women Breakfast for her work in advancing the cause of women in the workplace. 

Throughout her career, Bramson has been committed to advancing leadership opportunities for women, from the corporate sector, to the State House, to the non-profit community. Beginning with tailoring her own career to meet the needs of her family, she has made major inroads in instilling organizations with the values and policies that provide greater opportunities for women. She continues this legacy today as the first Chief Executive Officer of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts.

Today she serves as an Advisory Board member of Junior Achievement, and a member of the Massachusetts Coalition for Equal Pay, and sits on the Governor’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Operations Board for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She sits on the Board of Governors of Tufts Medical Center and serves as a Trustee of Middlesex Community College.  Bramson was on the Board of the Massachusetts Service Alliance for ten years and is a member of the National Partnership for 21st Century Skills advisory group. During the Romney administration, she was tapped to co-chair the Governor’s Commission on Domestic Violence and Child Sexual Abuse with Lt. Governor Kerry Healey. Additionally, she served on the Governor’s Advisory ‘Kitchen Cabinet’ on homelessness and the One Family Scholars program.

Bramson continues her civic commitment volunteering with a number of non-profits and government agencies that focus on the advancement of women, diversity, education, and the prevention of homelessness and domestic violence.
