💎 Meet our GEM, Brooke Stephens!

From saying “sure” to a new idea in 1976... to becoming a Governor and lifelong leader, Brooke’s Soroptimist journey is nothing short of inspiring. 🌟

A GEM (“Governor Ever More”), Brooke continues to guide with wisdom, history, and heart — always reminding us that if not me, then who? If not now, then when?

Proud Soroptimist accomplishments? She has so many but, was honored to have Soroptimist International of the Americas (SIA) adopt the initiative, Go Red for Women (women’s heart health), and have it added to the Federation’s “Where We Stand - Positions Paper”. Because, for our GEM Brooke, it has always been about the members who truly are “The Wind Beneath Her Wings”.
