About Us...
The Northeastern Region currently consists of
eleven clubs with over 300 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 in the United States and New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince
Edward Island and Newfoundland in Canada.
The Greater Hartford, CT club, chartered on
November 19, 1938, holds the distinction of being the first
club chartered in the Northeastern Region. We extend a warm welcome
to the latest and newest club in the region, Greater Providence, RI! 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. Soroptimist International is the world's largest classified service organization for
executive and professional women. To learn more about Soroptimist
International of the Americas, please visit their

Our Region Board of Directors consist of a Governor,

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.
