BOD for June News Blast

Governor Penny – “Thank you” seems inadequate to express my gratitude for your support, love, ideas, and plain ole fun during my time on the Golden West Region Board – thank you for one of the best opportunities of my life, and best wishes to you, my friends, from the bottom of my heart.

Governor-elect Lori – Can’t wait to see what we accomplish in 2018-2020 as “We work as One” towards our mission.

Secretary Mandy - I want to share my immense gratitude to all of the Golden West Region Soroptimists for your encouragement, support,  love and laughter each of you have given me over the years I have served on the GWR Board.  THANK YOU!

Treasurer Margie – Congratulations on another wonderful year and we look forward to celebrating your successes at Spring Conference!

District 1 Director Rene - So much to celebrate - so many women's lives changed for the better!

District 2 Director Kimberly - Although our lives are full of change, sometimes planned but too often unexpected, I am grateful for the consistent love and support that Soroptimist members have for each other and women and girls throughout the world.

District 3 Director Laurie – It has been my absolute privilege and joy to serve District 3 of the Golden West Region; getting to know so many dynamic and talented women as well as witness first-hand so many of your celebrations and successes - it has truly been humbling.  Thank You!
