…towards the 100 plus women under consideration for this centenary accolade. Nominations for Marion Strehlow and Dorothy Clark MBE our two inspiring friends have been accepted by SIGBI. Mary Lodge and Alexis Neville spirited our ‘diamonds’ into sharing their histories and compiled submissions in the last week well ahead of the deadline. Now we await news as to whether they will be selected to represent the SIGBI region and have their biographies published as part of this international recognition of the leadership, inspiration and good work as individuals, in their careers and as Soroptimists.
