Our Mission
A commitment to enhance the lives of others by promoting friendships, providing community service and applying our skills, talents and resources toward the betterment of women and their families.



Soroptimist International focuses on education because educated women and girls are less vulnerable to sex traffickers, more likely to leave a domestic violence situation and not return, able to access healthcare, less likely to live in poverty and able to raise stronger, healthier families.
Women of Distinction
This event was held to recognize women for their work in the community and to empower women and girls.
This was the premier event in Martin County for many years, used to recognize outstanding women in our community and raise funds for our programs throughout the year.
Due to the pandemic, the 2020 Women of Distinction Awards Dinner had to be cancelled.
A big “Thank You” to everyone involved in this wonderful endeavor to recognize the outstanding women of Martin County.
