#Whoisshe?As part of the celebration of the first centenary of Soroptimist International in 2021, local member Trish Mellor of SI Cannock has been selected as one of more than 100 Soroptimists to be commemorated as part of the #Whoisshe? Campaign.
A pen portrait and photograph of Trish will appear on the Soroptimist Centenary website from the start of this month here: https://sigbi.org/soroptimistcentenary2021/a-brilliant/showcasing-one-hundred-soroptimists-for-the-centenary-100-4-100/whoisshe-soroptimists-for-the-centenary/
Trish joined SI Cannock April 1998 and is the lifeblood of our club. She has undertaken a range of executive roles in the club including President and Vice President and has also undertaken national and regional responsibilities. For many years she has been Programme Action Lead and Press Officer. She brings the club together and is instrumental in encouraging and supporting new members to get involved in whatever way they can.SI Cannock is so lucky to have Trish Mellor as a member, without her the club and Soroptimist International would definitely be the poorer.
SI Cannock President Trish Smith said: “We are delighted that Trish has been selected as one of these wonderful women being celebrated to mark the centenary of Soroptimist International.”
The centenary of the organisation seemed a fitting opportunity to recognise and celebrate the professional and personal commitments made by these outstanding members through the years. These #Whoisshe? campaign members, both past and present, from Soroptimist International of Great Britain and Ireland have all been nominated by Soroptimist Clubs for their noteworthy contribution to society in the furtherance of the aims and objects of the organisation. A certificate signed by the Federation President will be presented to each of the #Whoisshe? women through their Clubs.
