SOROPTOMISTS

The first Soroptomist Club in the area was chartered in 1937. A St. Louis Park chapter was founded soon after, and in 1979 the club was merged to form a regional organization. At that time, there were 34 executive business and professional women in the group.

Soroptimist objectives are:

To maintain high ethical standards in business and professional life and for human rights for all people and in particular to advance the status of women.
To develop a spirit of friendship and unity among Soroptimists of all countries.
To quicken the spirit of service and human understanding which includes universal friendship.
To assist in developing the highest concept of patriotism and love of country, and interest in community, national and international affairs.
