We are all really excited and delighted
that this year we have a President – Ruth Armstrong. Ruth has been a member of SI Preston for 24 years. After University Ruth started her career in pharmacy managing shops for a small chain of chemists in Birmingham.
She moved to the North West and worked in Lancaster Moor Hospital and then Sharoe Green Hospital.
After the birth of her two sons, and a few years of just covering holidays locally, she gradually built up a
circle of pharmacies giving the owner a regular day off each week.
Her final position was managing the pharmacy at Geoffrey Street Health Centre.
Ruth joined SI Preston in 1998 and was surprised that she already knew a couple of members.
She has been President and Treasurer and enjoys taking part in Regional, Federation and International Soroptimist events.
