Highly Recommend Soroptimists to attend the Thriving Futures workshop course!
That was the clear message from eleven Soroptimists from eight clubs across Aotearoa New Zealand after they attended the 15th – 17th June course recently held in Wellington.
Soroptimists some very experienced, some relatively new, came from a mixture of clubs across our National Region. However, we all had the same goal, to learn from Anthea Penny the Facilitator and each other, on how we can re-energise our Soroptimist clubs to retain and build our membership. We scored the program very highly, the overall evaluation results were 94.8%.
With very clear goals Anthea took us through the course content.
