She reminded\u00a0everyone that \u2013 as an organisation \u2013 we are committed to changing the lives of women and girls. Internationally we have all signed up to the core principle of \u2018educate to lead\u2019. So we all need to look hard at what, in our clubs, we are actually trying to do. Are we attempting too many things? Is our core message too diluted? Are we making an impact locally? Local, targeted action can filter right through to the ability of Soroptimist International to influence globally, primarily through the United Nations\u2019 agencies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">President Ann also spoke of the need to re-examine the structure and function of Soroptimist International itself. What is fit for purpose and what must be modernised? Plus, as we all attest to high ethical standards,\u00a0the Board itself must be accountable to each and every Soroptimist.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><a href=\"\/south-lancashire\/files\/2013\/10\/Manchester-Soroptimists-with-Ann-Garvie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1558\" src=\"\/south-lancashire\/files\/2013\/10\/Manchester-Soroptimists-with-Ann-Garvie.jpg\" alt=\"manchester soroptimists with ann garvie\" width=\"216\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/files\/2013\/10\/Manchester-Soroptimists-with-Ann-Garvie.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/files\/2013\/10\/Manchester-Soroptimists-with-Ann-Garvie-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span>Frank and outspoken, President Ann showed that her term of office as our prime ambassador for Soroptimism will be full of challenge and incident.
