Soroptimist, coined from the Latin "soror" and "optima" means the best for women.
A Soroptimist is a leader in her community. She believes that by joining with other women and engaging in awareness, advocacy, and action in the service of her community and society, she can make the world a better place for humankind.
~The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
