What does Soroptimist mean?

The name Soroptimist was coined from the Latin soror meaning sister, and optima meaning best.

Soroptimist is perhaps best interpreted as ‘the best for women’. From the founding of the first Soroptimist club in Oakland, California, in 1921, through to the present day where over 3000 Clubs are flourishing throughout the world, Soroptimists have continued to strive to achieve ‘the best for women’ in every sphere of their lives.

If you would like to join our group or want to consider becoming a Soroptimist, please call Mary on 07886469701, she will be delighted to discuss Soroptomism and SI Stourbridge club with you.
