Penny Morriss
Originally from Texas, Penny moved to Atlanta in 1987 from Dallas without a job. Her first job was with Prentiss Properties as the first office building concierge in Atlanta at the IBM Tower in Midtown three months after it was completed. She was hired some 7 years later by Intercontinental Concierge Corp. based out of Washington D.C., to be their General Manager here and built up their business in the office market. After three years, in 1997 Ms. Morriss started Concierge Services of Atlanta. February 14th is their 15 year anniversary and they provide concierge services in Office Buildings and Condominiums with 70 people on the payroll.


Camp CEO Success in Second Year

MABLETON, GA. (June 8, 2011)
Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, Inc. concluded the second annual Camp CEO last Saturday, at which 30 Atlanta area senior executive businesswomen were matched with teen Girl Scouts to create mentor/mentee teams. The four-day leadership development camping event was held from June1-4 at Camp Timber Ridge in Mableton.

“Camp CEO is an exciting program bringing together executive women leaders with teen Girl Scouts to discover what it takes to become a CEO or senior executive,” says Marilyn Midyette, chief executive officer, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta. “The Girl Scout mission is to build girls of courage, confidence and character who will make the world a better place. Camp CEO fulfills that mission. We connected our girls with accomplished businesswomen who are not only committed to a life of success, but to a life of significance,” adds Midyette.

Penny Morriss, president and owner, Concierge Services of Atlanta was among the executives in attendance. She was paired with Ifetayo Olutosin, a sophomore at Roswell High School in Roswell, Georgia.

Activities and team building programs at Camp CEO included: “Dreaming Your Future” in which the executives shared life lessons in leadership with the girls; lessons in fiscal responsibility; building a personal brand; and speed networking. Also included were perennial Girl Scout traditions such as canoeing and making S'mores around the campfire.

“I came to share my experiences with my mentee about the importance of being a leader and giving back,” said Penny Morriss. “And, I was impressed to learn that Girl Scouts are already leaders. With my support, my mentee will be armed with more tools to assist her on her leadership path.”

Camp CEO is an annual event held each summer. Senior executive women and Girl Scouts, grades 9-12, from the 34 county metro Atlanta region may apply. Future dates and more information can be found at www.gsgatl.org.
