Val forwards the DWP report given to FMB to Yorkshire members. There was a lively discussion about Soroptimist finances, management structures and recruitment and retention. The achievements of Soroptimism in lobbying and raising awareness, often before topics receive media coverage and the consultative status at the UN were also mentioned. The future launch of the new African Federation expected in 2019 will have an effect on SIGBI and SI Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Val\u2019s other topic was Parliamentary Outreach, a training programme for womens\u2019 groups to be more effective at lobbying and advocacy. Val is a trainer and brought some of their information leaflets to the meeting. Her final message was that Soroptimists have a purpose, Programme Action, which makes us different from other groups or organisations.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Jenny welcomed the speaker, Val Hills of SI Harrogate &amp; District who is the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":673,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Visit from Val Hills - our Federation Consultative Councillor | News | Blog | Events | SI Beverley and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Beverley and District : Blog &amp; News : Visit from Val Hills - our Federation Consultative Councillor : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Beverley and District .
