Club Secretary News September 2024
Important information for club secretaries and members
The name change of Soroptimist International South West Pacific to Soroptimist International South East Asia Pacific affected what is termed the domain name. A domain name is our website address, which was changed from siswp.org to siseap.org. A business email account would be the same as the domain name, ours at present is still @siswp.org. It is planned to change our email accounts from @siswp.org to @siseap.org. This is a major piece of work, and does involve the clubs being prepared for this change.
It is planned to prepare for this work during September. Clubs will receive important communications from HQ during September. It is important that club elected position holders, President, Secretary, Treasurer are aware of these communications, read them thoroughly, inform their members and undertake the actions required of them.
Club email accounts will change from SI<CLUBNAME>@siswp.org to SI<CLUBNAME>@siseap.org.

Acknowledging this and in response to member feedback on the GoTo Meeting platform and requests for Zoom, the Federation has acquired Zoom Pro for clubs, regions, and Federation use. This decision has been validated with 70% of members preferring Zoom, according to a survey by Hanaa Abdullah, our Federation Communications Convenor.
