Each covered a wide range of key issues. Programme Action took centre-stage at several sessions, giving many clubs the opportunity to present their projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">The opening and closing events at Conference can be quite moving. On stage the flags from every country in the Federation make an impressive backdrop; they are a\u00a0visual reminder of the\u00a0significant geographical\u00a0impact of Soroptimist International.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">The change of insignia is very special. This year regional interest was focussed not only on <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">South Lancashire<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u2019s outgoing and incoming presidents, but also the installation of Margaret Emsley (SI Ashton under Lyne) as the Federation\u2019s President Elect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Conference is a great opportunity to catch up with friends in other clubs, and to strike up conversations with fellow delegates. The stalls in the \u2018market place\u2019 \u2013 charities and commercial \u2013 also enable a little retail therapy between sessions. With over 1,400 Soroptimists on-site business was \u2013 unsurprisingly \u2013 brisk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than one hundred South Lancashire Soroptimists \u2013\u00a0representing every club in the Region \u2013 attended&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":311,"featured_media":2514,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Soroptimists at Harrogate Conference | News | Blog | Events | SI South Lancashire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI South Lancashire : Blog &amp; News : Soroptimists at Harrogate Conference : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI South Lancashire .
