A Special Message from our President, Dr. Lucinda Wayland Connelly

Welcome to the New Soroptimist Year!
On behalf of the 2026-2027 Soroptimist International Channel Islands Board of directors, I am delighted to welcome you to a new Soroptimist year.
This season brings fresh opportunities to strengthen our commitment to empowering women and girls through education, access to resources, and meaningful support. Grounded in our mission of service and advocacy, we will continue to champion
programs and partnerships that create lasting change. We invite every member to join in, share your talents, and help make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Thank you for your dedication, generosity, and steady commitment to Soroptimist values. By working together with unity and purpose, we will deepen our reach and strengthen the impact of every project and every act of service. We look forward to the difference we will make—together—in 2026-2027 and beyond.
With warm regards and best wishes for a successful year,
Dr. Lucinda Wayland Connelly
President
