About our Board of Directors


Dana Luciani, Chair
Senior Vice President/ Channel Integration, Bank of America
I joined GOTR board because I've personally experienced being in the "girl box" and how being in this position can play itself out. I wanted to be a part of helping grow an organization that is helping girls stay out of the girl box and pave their own path. Through this journey I have learned more about myself and ways to help my daughter pave her own path.

Sarah Hirshland, Vice-Chair
Having met Molly and read both of her books I continue to be inspired by her personal stories and the way in which she has channeled her energy to positively impact the lives of young ladies.  Each of us faces challenges throughout our lives and we must find strength and wisdom to help steer ourselves in the right direction.  Girls on the Run is that strength and wisdom for thousands of girls during some of the most difficult years of growing up.  It is an honor to be a part of such an important organization.

Robert Bales
SVP, Operations/Treasurer, Quaero Corporation
I was attracted to the passion for the cause that was demonstrated by the individuals associated with GOTR. Additionally as a father of 2 daughters, I appreciated the mission and methods of the organization to provide a self enrichment program to young girls.
