Gloria Parnell, the Minnesota State Director, is known by many names. Her husband of over twenty years calls her "honey," her four children affectionately call her "mommy," and companies like Procter & Gamble, Best Buy, and Target have referred to her as their "model." In 2013, her state crowned her "Mrs. Minnesota." But what does she call herself? Without hesitation, she calls herself “blessed.”
Gloria feels blessed to have a loving family by her side, a thriving career in the talent industry, and the privilege of working with young women across Minnesota, encouraging them to pursue their dreams and goals. With a lifelong passion for pageantry, Gloria has worn many hats over the years—titleholder, competitor, fan, judge, emcee, and even pageant parent.
She shares a unique connection with children and finds the most fulfillment in helping them, as she is, at heart, a big kid herself. An avid volunteer, Gloria dedicates her time and talents to a variety of causes, including fundraising for Minnesota Children's Hospitals, Brides Against Breast Cancer, and several other organizations throughout the Midwest.
