Girl Scouts of Nassau County announced that Staten Island resident Pawel Zagaja has been elected to serve on Girl Scouts of Nassau County’s Board of Directors through 2027. Pawel Zagaja was officially sworn in during the organization’s 60th Annual Meeting, held at Nassau Community College in Garden City. The Board of Directors is comprised of lifelong Girl Scouts, community leaders, and nonprofit and corporative executives who provide leadership, innovation and support to the Council and guide the organization’s vision and mission.

“Our Board of Directors is made up of passionate leaders who believe in the power of Girl Scouting to inspire and uplift the next generation,” said Randell Bynum, Chief Executive Officer of Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “I am eager to see this group of leaders inspire and shape the Girl Scout experience in their terms. I am confident they will help to fulfill our mission to build girls of courage, confidence and character.”

Board members work together to provide strategic leadership and foster opportunities that help girls throughout Nassau County develop courage, confidence, and character. They also play a vital role in supporting fundraising efforts that expand access to Girl Scout programs that empower girls socially, academically, and emotionally.

Pawel Zagaja is the Senior Director of JFK Gateway for DHL Express, where he has been leading teams in various roles across the Northeast since starting with DHL in 2007. He began his logistics career by accident as a package handler at DHL’s competitor, but quickly developed a passion for the industry’s fast-paced, dynamic environment. Originally from Poland, Pawel moved to the U.S. in 2002 and considers himself living proof of the American Dream. Pawel is a devoted husband and proud father of four. An avid motorsports fan and car enthusiast, he enjoys an active lifestyle year-round. DHL is also a proud supporter of Operation Cookie, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
