Soroptimist representatives from around the world are in Kent, UK this weekend for the annual Soroptimist international Board meeting. The Board, representing 80,000 Soroptimists in 130 countries worldwide, will discuss issues facing the global movement and take key decisions about SI’s global strategy for the coming year.

The SI Board is made up of three voting delegates from each of the four Soroptimist Federations, along with the four elected Officers of SI: International President, Treasurer, President-Elect and International Programme Director. In this week’s SoroptiVoice blog, we hear from SI’s Officers, who each share their thoughts from the Board meeting via short video.
