Lynn Jackson Dorman thrived as a Junior and Cadette Girl Scout
in a small parent-led troop in Baltimore Maryland in the 1970s. By
1988, she traded her Girl Scout uniform for a US Army uniform and

Professionally, Lynn has served as Executive Officer to the Director

directing and leading change in three distinct areas: diversity
program management and leadership, human resource management with a
focus in human relations program development, and compliance
management fields such as operations, cyber security, and human

Lynn’s second career is focused on giving back in a different way.
Currently, Lynn works as a Licensed Mental Health Therapist in Tampa
