It is customary for the incoming President to have a theme for her biennium and she kept coming back to the belief of how powerful our voices are. This Biennium, her vision is "Our Voice for Change" Her aim is that "Our voice will amplify our areas of concerns"
Lets break down the meaning of it:
Global - we are an international organisation working world wide.
We are women.
And we have a Voice - this is where our power comes from, the power to create the actions and the change.
Whilst President Christine was researching her theme, she kept coming back to five core areas of concern which face us as motivators of change:
This is Us, working together to bring about change, it encompasses everything we as Soroptimists deliver each and every day.
"As we have done for the past 100 years let this biennium be a time where we come together. Let our voices be amplified together to bring about the change we desire."
