Sue Biggs, Federation Programme  Director

Congratulation to Sue Biggs who is now Federation Programme Director.  Sue has  been a Soroptimist for 11 years, firstly as a member of SI Pendleside and latterly as a member of SI Burnley.  For the last three years she chaired the UK Programme Action Committee and takes on the role of Federation Programme Director at an exciting time as we enter a new quadrennium with fresh Programme goals and objectives. The SI title ”Educate to Lead” with key words being the three Es -educate, empower, enable lends itself to so many possibilities for exciting programme work which can be linked closely with recruitment and retention of members.
