"I have been a Soroptimist member for 22 years. The organization has significantly changed in that time, changes that have been necessary to stay relevant and viable. For some clubs, this has been painful, but I think our club has been very successful in changing with the times. The proof is in how we are attracting new members all the time. I’m very proud to have been something of a pivot point for our club, helping to navigate through the changes, and supporting others with new ideas."
