President’s message
After a very interesting and busy Brighton Conference the time for the change of insignia ceremony arrived. Those of you who know Outgoing President Florence and me will know that there is a very definite height difference between us. We made quite a spectacle on the stage and we managed to give the crowd a smile in the middle of a quite serious event! I’ve been asked a number of times how I feel about being President of SI Northern England – nervous, apprehensive, worried, a bit scared? Maybe all of those things, but I’m also excited, and overwhelmed at the goodwill and friendship shown already by sister Soroptimists from across the region. Thanks to everyone for their cards and messages of support.
I will have a hard act to follow from previous Presidents and hope I can live up to the high standards set by them. Preparations have already started for the Regional Conference which is to be held on 19th May 2012 at the Centre for Life (further details to be released soon). I hope you are able to attend for what I expect will be an informative and lively day.
I look forward to an interesting year, meeting new members and renewing old friendships.
