About Us...
The Northeastern Region currently consists of ten clubs with approximately 200 members. We are working hard to charter additional clubs. As stated on our home page, the Northeastern Region covers the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.

The Greater Hartford, CT club, chartered on November 19, 1938,  holds the distinction of being the first club chartered in the Northeastern Region. We hope to have many more charter parties in the future.

The Northeastern Region is one of 28 regions of Soroptimist International of the Americas. To learn more about Soroptimist International of the Americas, please visit their website.

Our Region Board of Directors consist of the Governor, Governor-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, the Region Membership Chair, the Region Program Chair, the Region Fundraising Chair, the Region Public Awareness Chair, and the immediate past Governor.

Elections are held every two years. Roberts Rules of Order are observed in voting procedures at all region business meetings and conferences. Our Region Bylaws were updated on 4/29/17 at our Spring Conference. To review and/or download a copy of the bylaws, please click here.

Board members as well as committee chairs and members bring their enthusiasm and talents together to help the region continue to prosper and grow.
