Soroptimists are women of all ages, cultures and ethnic groups. Members represent a wide array of professions, including doctors, attorneys, teachers, chief executive officers of companies, business owners and government officials.

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.

Many noteworthy women have been Soroptimists, including a United States Supreme Court justice; the first woman to serve as the mayor of a large city in the United States; and the 1962 recipient of the United States President’s Award for Distinguished Civilian Service.

The Midwestern Region includes the states of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin and is one of 29 Regions of Soroptimist International of the Americas which in turn is one of four Federations of Soroptimist International.
