Ruby Award
What is a Ruby? A GEM!
Precisely what your club’s choice for a “Soroptimist Ruby Award: For Women Helping Women” recipient is…a gem!
This award honors non-Soroptimist women who are making extraordinary efforts on behalf of other women. This award gives the club and the entire organization the opportunity to say “thank you” and encourage others to explore ways to assist women.
The Soroptimist Ruby Award recipient should be a woman who:
- Has worked to improve the lives of women and girls;
- Has had a significant impact on the lives of women and girls;
- Inspires and encourages other women.
Participation in this program is simple and has many important benefits for your club, including:
- Promotion of issues that improve the lives of women and girls
- Networking
- Honoring special women in the community
- Membership recruitment
- Public awareness opportunities
This award is named in honor of Ruby Lee Minar, the first Federation President. A ruby is a gemstone, also associated with wisdom, importance, vitality, strength, power and love – all words embodying our award recipients. We encourage Founder Region clubs to consider who, in their community, is working to improve the lives of women and girls and honor them with recognition from your club that they so richly deserve.
