Soroptimist International of Atlanta |
| We would like to welcome you to our club. Through your interaction with Soroptimist, you have the ability to be an instrument of change to women throughout the world.
The Atlanta Club has partnered with Crossing the Jordan who helps women achieve economic freedom. Women's roles in today’s society, in the economy, and at home have evolved to where an increasing amount of decision-making and control falls to women. Unlike women in previous generations, today's woman finds herself in an unprecedented societal and economic shift:
Crossing the Jordan’s objective is to help women overcome the fear of money by providing a forum that will help them understand investing and saving strategies thus developing the skill and knowledge to create wealth and protect it.
Our vision focuses on expanding the number of families that are debt-free and experiencing financial freedom, which allows them to enjoy their life together.
Crossing the Jordan’s mission is to create opportunities for women to take possession of their land (wealth) by providing a safe place to gain insight and knowledge on how to accomplish financial freedom.
Crossing the Jordan’s strategic alliance with Soroptimist International of Atlanta offers a strong synergy of personal and financial growth for women in the metro Atlanta area. Visit www.myctjmoney.com or www.ctjmoneydivas.ning.com

Soroptimist, coined from the Latin "soror" and "optima" means the best for women.
