Welcome to Soroptimist International of Camas/Washougal
A volunteer organization for business and professional women working toward improving the lives of women and girls, in local communities and throughout the world.
Soroptimists are leaders in their communities and are women of all ages, cultures and ethnic groups representing a wide array of professions.
The common thread connecting members is their dream to improve the lives of all women and girls, as aspiration to which they lend their vast energy, insights, and compassion.
Soroptimist membership celebrates the unique power of women. It's a gift that women give to themselves; the chance to help others in an atmosphere of support, friendship and fun; to explore networking opportunities, and to develop leadership and mentoring skills.
The name Soroptimist was coined from the Latin “Soro” and “optima,” meaning, “Best for Women.” Our Club was chartered in 1948 as Soroptimist International of Camas/Washougal.
We are part of a worldwide volunteer organization consisting of over 95,000 women in more than 120 countries. Our members are active, dynamic, professionals and community leaders.
