  The group's new chief executive officer says changes are afoot for the unified council that now serves 17,000 girls. 'At the individual level, girls probably won't feel much difference with this merger at first,' said Patricia Hallberg, who took the helm as CEO of the newly formed Girl Scouts of Central and Western Mass Inc. on Jan. 1.
  
  'That's a good thing.
  ...
  Hallberg said it doesn't make sense to consolidate the offices because of the amount of territory the council now covers. 'I'll evaluate what we have and if it's in the right place.Ultimately, the board and staff have to decide what's the best way,' she said. 'I don't believe closing offices is the best.'
  
  Wider goals
  
  The local merger is part of a national trend by the Girl Scouts of the USA to unify many of its smaller councils throughout the country.The nonprofit organization has set a goal of managing about 100 councils nationwide, down from more than 300 today.Hallberg said economics played little role in this area's merger, which is being driven by the desire to develop new programs and strengthen existing ones. 'We don't want to get away from the local feel of the council, but bringing together smaller councils will give us more resources to build the best programming and get it out to the smaller areas,' Hallberg said.
  
  A new leader
  
  Hallberg, the mother of four daughters, formerly ran outreach programs for the National Inventors Hall of Fame in northeastern Ohio.One of the summer camps she started for the Inventors Hall of Fame, through a subsidiary called Invent Now Kids Inc., has grown from a small regional camp into a national program that attracts 60,000 young people in 48 states.
  
  While she's not an educator by training, Hallberg comes from an education programming background.And she said she loves creating programming that focuses on science and engineering.
  
  'I'm passionate about enrichment education,' she said. 'That's a 24/7 experience for everyone.I want to bring that energy and programming to the Girl Scouts here.' One of the areas she hopes to expand is offerings in leadership for girls.
  
  Hallberg believes that while leadership is innate in many people, enhanced programs can help girls build on such traits. 'To build skills, we need to offer opportunities to as many girls as possible to help them understand their leadership potential,' she said.This can have a long-term economic impact on the region, she maintains.
  
  Hallberg believes that as children develop leadership skills and a commitment to their communities, they will come back after college and help build the region in which they grew up.

  "We've got a lot of exploration" to do, said Pat Hallberg, chief operating officer of the Inventors Hall, "but we solidified the partners, the interest and the commitment."
  ...
  "There certainly are an incredible group of inventors that are very active in our organization and are very interested in our educational programs," Hallberg said.

  Once Akron has its concept paper written, committees probably will research topics such as curriculum, financing and facility, Hallberg said.
  
  There's no time line or deadline, just optimism balanced with realism.
  
  "We start with the big idea and move it through a funnel to the nitty gritty," Hallberg said.
