2023 Region Conference Highlights

Between the months of April and June, each of Soroptimist’s regions across North America, Latin America and the Pacific Rim came together for conferences to forge strong bonds with fellow region members, share knowledge, celebrate successes, and foster a renewed dedication to our mission of empowering women and girls through education.

SIA board members also had the opportunity to visit various conferences to meet members, answer questions, and help spark inspiration and motivation to make a lasting global impact through our Big Goal of investing in the lives of women and girls through access to education.

Here are a few highlights and photos capturing the energy and enthusiasm from these year’s conferences. Thank you to those who shared highlights and photos on social media using the hashtag #SIARegionConference2023.
