Live Your Dream Awards Updates
Application Period
The Live Your Dream Awards online application system for applicants in the US and Canada will open August 15 this year.
Why? As we transition into our new organization-wide database, we need to ensure that it integrates seamlessly with the Live Your Dream Awards online application system, providing a smooth experience for our club chairs, region chairs, applicants, and references.
Applicants will still have three months to start, complete and submit their applications and at least one reference.
Questions? Please email lydawards@soroptimist.org. We are happy to help.
