Making a Difference for Women Award
Acknowledges the efforts of women who, through their
personal or professional activities, are working to
improve the lives of women and girls.
The Making a Difference for Women Award acknowledges
women who are working to improve the lives of women
and girls through their personal or professional activities.
Their efforts help to promote the issues that are
important to the Soroptimist organization. Honorees
are women who have worked in extraordinary ways to
benefit women and girls. Examples of the type of work
honored include: spearheading an effort to open a
domestic violence shelter, working to secure health
services for low-income women, starting a mentoring
program for at-risk girls, or lobbing companies to
provide on-site child care. The program enables local
Soroptimist clubs and the Soroptimist organization
to thank these women and encourage others to explore
ways to assist women and girls. The program begins
on the club level, where the type of recognition varies.
Award winners at the club level are eligible for additional
awards at other levels of the organization.
