Greetings! As President for the 2024-25 club year, I am excited and honored to continue Soroptimist’s legacy of empowering women and girls for over 100 years. I am proud to say, that our club, SI Sacramento, is currently the fourth oldest Soroptimist club in the world (chartered in 1923) and has continued for decades to invest in the lives of women and girls to help them attain economic empowerment. Our core values: Gender Equality, Empowerment, Education, and Diversity & Fellowship is the basis of my theme: Keeping Dreams Alive – Embracing Diversity & Women’s Empowerment.
As Soroptimists, we encourage women and girls to pursue their dreams despite their backgrounds, perceived limitations or life challenges. Our goal is to help them realize their dreams by providing them access to education through our Dream Programs (Live Your Dream and Dream It Be It), Scholarship Program and other projects that promote educational attainment and economic empowerment. I am proud to lead our club in this effort, along with our incredible 2024-25 Board, Chairs and club members.
Our club is the image of what diversity looks like. We represent women of multiple cultures, generations, professions, personal experiences, economic and educational backgrounds, interests and talents. This diversity is what Soroptimist stands for, as it promotes inclusivity, equity, and the representation of all. As individuals, we band together to pursue one common goal – to promote and advocate for the betterment of all women and girls. The passion demonstrated by the members of SI Sacramento is what prompted me to join this dynamic group eight years ago. I look forward to continuing in the investment of women and girls and to an exciting club year!
