Each year, member clubs of Soroptimist International of the Americas, Inc., who are in good standing have the opportunity to participate in the election of the SIA President-elect.
Electronic Voting
Soroptimist International of the Americas uses electronic balloting for the office of 2024-2025 President-elect.

It is authentic to your club, allows entrance to the voting portal and ensures your club only votes once in the election.
The voting portal will be open from Friday, March 1, until 11:59 p.m. (EDT) on Thursday, May 2.

The resumes and videos for all the candidates are now available for your club to review on the SIA website. Please have your club review all resumes and determine how the club will cast its vote before entering the voting portal.
When your club is ready to cast its vote, click your club’s authenticated link received in the email and enter the portal. The club will be able to access the resumes of the candidates again in the voting portal. Please rank the candidates in accordance with your club’s preference, from 1 (most preferred) to 3 (least preferred).
