About Us

Soroptimist International of Cascadia Online, or SICO, is one of the first fully on-line Soroptimist clubs in the world, and the first in the Northwestern Region.

Our club was founded as the first wholly online Soroptimist club in the Northwestern Region. We were founded in 2017, with 13 charter members from 3 states, in order to make membership available to people who can’t access a traditional club for whatever reason. As a member of the Northwestern Region, we serve women in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Northern Idaho, and Alaska, though we welcome members from anywhere who support our mission. Our meetings take place online and our members support activities throughout the region.  

Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment.  Our name, loosely translated from the Latin, means best for women. Today, we have about 160,000 members and supporters in 21 countries and territories. We are members of one of four federations that make up Soroptimist International, which has clubs in more than 120 countries throughout the world.

Membership

Our club serves women throughout the Northwestern Region, however our membership is open to anyone! 

Meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM Pacific Time using a video conferencing tool. All of our meetings are recorded and shared with our members so that no one ever has to miss a meeting!

Members stay in touch via a variety of online collaboration tools. 

We all support club activities by attending online meetings, participating in project workgroups, and by volunteering in our local communities, supporting activities that improve the lives of women and girls. 

Our dues are only $140 per year! There is a $5 service fee for paying online.
