It is with much sadness that we notify you that Laurie Swift, member of SI New Plymouth (Aotearoa New Zealand) and long term Soroptimist passed away on Tuesday 3 June 2025.
Laurie was a Soroptimist for over 30 years and during this time she held many positions both at Club, Region, Country and Federation level. May she rest in peace and know that her contribution to Soroptimism will not be forgotten. Our deepest condolences to her family and friends at this sad time of her passing.
June is a month dedicated to celebrating and protecting our planet. SISEAP President Joanne Yeoh would like to share a special message to highlight the significance of World Environment Day and this year's theme — #BeatPlasticPollution. Join us in learning how we can all contribute to reducing plastic waste and creating a healthier, cleaner Earth. Together, small actions can make a big difference!
World Environment Day 2025 has a thematic focus on ending plastic pollution. UNEP’s global campaign uses the symbolism of nature—balance, circularity, and unity—to inspire reflection and action to #BeatPlasticPollution.
SISEAP will be taking up the challenge to end plastic pollution with a focus on microplastics and how they are affecting all aspects of life on Earth. The key messages will revolve around SDG 3/6/12/14.
Toolkit and resources can be found on the Trello board below.

The climate crisis is no longer a distant concern—it is a pressing reality impacting lives and ecosystems around the world. As Soroptimists, we have a duty to act – not just as individuals, but together as a global force for change. Our actions—big or small matter.
SI President 2024 –2025, Siew Yong Gnanalingam is asking all Soroptimists and Clubs to take meaningful action to address the climate crisis and care for our environment. Whether through tree planting, reducing waste, promoting clean energy, or advocating for climate justice—your contribution is vital.
President Siew Yong invites you to share your impact. Please submit a video clip (maximum 3 minutes) showing how you or your Soroptimist Club are taking steps to combat climate change or protect the environment. These clips will form part of a powerful compilation video to be released on 24 October 2025 —International Day of Climate Action.
