What is a Soroptimist?
The name Soroptimist was coined from the Latin word soror meaning sister, and optima meaning best. And so Soroptimist is perhaps best
interpreted as 'the best for women'.
Our mission and goals are guided by the
overall vision of
Soroptimist International,
Soroptimist International of the Americas
and
Soroptimist International Northwestern Region.
