DIBI Scholarship

We are so grateful for our generous supporters who gave on April 22 during the Southern New Mexico Community Foundation's Giving Day. Each gift made during this campaign allows us to further the Soroptimist mission of empowering women through education.

February 23 was an exciting evening as we met our eight Live Your Dream Award winners, listened to their inspiring stories, awarded a total of $8500 in education grants and applauded as Shannon and Maggie Reynolds made special presentations to all eight young women.

AWESOME! That's the word for our April 9, 2022 Dream It, Be It Girls Conference and the 16 young women who participated! Thank you, Dr. Monica Torres, President of Doña Ana Community College, for the important tips on how to put your best foot forward through a well-crafted "elevator speech" and to Ms. Dawn Catanach, The New America School, on the wealth of financial literacy information. Thanks also to Alpha Xi Delta Sorority members for showing us how to dress for interviews and on the job, to Doña Ana Community College for providing the location and support staff, and to conference sponsors, Walmart (Valley Drive), Sam's Club and former member, K.C. Carda. For more conference information, check out the photos to the left and click HERE.
