Soroptimist International of La Jolla

Membership

Who is a Soroptimist?

Soroptimists are business and professional women of all ages, cultures and ethnic groups. They are working moms and single women; small business owners and corporate executives; attorneys, teachers and physicians. The common thread that connects all Soroptimists is their desire to make a difference for women.

Membership in a Soroptimist Club is by invitation, and each club represents a wide range of occupations. To be eligible for active membership, a woman must be actively engaged in a management or professional capacity, in the private or public sector, or in an occupation with comparable status or responsibilities.
