Soroptimists attend "Mind the Gap"-themed conference
Members of Soroptimist International of Kenton/Hardin County traveled to Ann Arbor Michigan to attend the 115th Midwestern Region spring conference. The theme for the weekend was “Mind the Gap.” It relates to this year’s international convention in Dublin, Ireland and reminds attendees the need to bridge the gaps between members—generations, beliefs, backgrounds and more.
The women attended workshops that offered a mix of learning opportunities; membership, estate planning, international travel, empathy within the clubs and communities, women’s health, and capturing personal stories and narratives. The keynote speaker, Jenn Jarvey Balistreri spoke about inclusive mindsets and lead one of the workshops.
The conference was a great way to reconnect with others and find new ways to meet the Soroptimist mission as well as gain insight to improve club projects, fundraisers, membership goals and more.
