DETROIT - Michimich -- Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan's (GSSEM) annual Tough Enough to be a Girl Scout breakfast will be held on Thursday, September 10, 2026 at Elevate at One Campus Martius. Awards will be presented to four women professionals who are committed to developing forward thinking solutions to complex issues, taking on hard challenges within their communities and working together to forge a brighter future.

Each honoree, through her trailblazing career and commitment to service, demonstrates she is tough enough to be a Girl Scout.

2026 Tough Enough awardees:

• Stacy Fox, Co-Founder & Principal of the Roxbury Group
• Tiffany Gunter, CEO & General Manager of the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART)
• Mary Kramer, Co-Founder, Detroit Homecoming & Retired Publisher/Editor of Crain's Detroit Business
• Kate Levin Markel, President of the McGregor Fund

Honorees will participate in a panel discussion centering on the changing world of work and how youth organizations, employers, communities, and philanthropies can support and adapt to new methods, attitudes, and expectations of the millennial and Gen Z workforce.

Today, young people are facing unprecedented challenges as they enter the workforce after high school or college:

• In the first quarter of 2026 the unemployment rate of recent college graduates was about 5.7%, up two points over the last ten years.
• With AI automating some junior-level routine tasks, which previously were the training ground for interpersonal and professional skills required for career growth and advancement, the bar is higher for people newly entering the workforce.  
• While technologically adept, young workers often are challenged with demonstrating the durable skills needed to advance and grow in the workplace, including critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, fortitude, growth mindset, and leadership.  

The panel discussion will explore these and other factors impacting the world of work. Tickets are still available for Tough Enough to be a Girl Scout.
