Welcome to Cardiff Ann Hodgson and Helen Murdoch

Thank you for joining us at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff for the 83rd Federation Conference.

Cardiff is an exciting, vibrant and cosmopolitan capital city and we are delighted to welcome you.

Cardiff Bay offers the largest waterfront development in Europe with a blend of modern and Victorian buildings and a wealth of places to eat, relax and chat - alongside traditional attractions, including a fairy-tale castle in the middle of the city and a fine museum housing one of the best Impressionist collections outside Paris.

In times gone by Cardiff Bay helped to influence the industrial age through inspiration, innovation and bold decisions.

This week we invite you to influence the future of our organisation • through the inspiration of our amazing speakers, • through the innovative projects which are our responses to challenges faced, and • through the bold decisions that each and every one of us can make.

This is your chance to Step Up and Lead the Way. Take advantage of the opportunity over these few days to mix and mingle, to connect and catch- up. Share ideas with each other, explore new approaches and experience the energy of our members.

Have fun and enjoy this conference,

In friendship Ann Hodgson and Helen Murdoch, Federation President Conference Chair 2017

DAME KATHERINE GRAINGER DBE @KatherineGraingerOfficial Katherine Grainger is Great Britain’s most decorated female Olympian, our most successful female rower and the only female athlete, in any sport, to gain medals in four consecutive Olympic Games. In 2012 Katherine’s dreams were realised when she won the elusive Olympic Gold medal alongside teammate Anna Watkins in the double sculls in London. Appointed Commander of the Order of the British Keynote Speakers Keynote Empire (CBE) for services to rowing in the 2013 New Year Honours, she was made a Dame in the New Year Honours List 2016 for her services to rowing and to charity. During a two-year break from the GB Rowing Squad, when she completed her PhD and wrote her autobiography Dreams Do Come True, Katherine was a BBC presenter and pundit in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Returning to the GB Rowing squad and a demanding training regime at the end of 2014, she qualified for the Olympic Games in Rio 2016 with her new partner in the double sculls, Victoria Thornley. On 11 August 2016, Katherine became the most decorated female Olympian of all time winning a silver medal, narrowly missing the gold after leading for three quarters of the race. Many people had not expected this pairing to even qualify for Rio, so their result was outstanding and propelled Katherine into the history books. With a natural talent as a speaker, Katherine shares her stimulating and compelling tale of her journey to success.

Passionate about SI’s goals to enable, educate and empower women and girls, Victoria Programme Speakers Programme believes that in order for us to be relevant in this connected internet age, we need to be quicker to adopt new technology as well as more flexible and responsive to new ideas in order to fulfil our mission and bring younger women into SI.

In this role she supported and trained nine leaders in carrying out research into barriers to leadership for girls and young women with a focus on gender. She also sits on a gender taskforce within the Europe Region of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) working on developing mainstreaming tools and supporting member organisations to be as inclusive as possible in relation to gender and diversity.

Jodie Foster Jodie-Leigh Foster, 19, is a Student from Middlesbrough. She is passionate about improving women and young people’s quality of life. This interest came through voluntary work within her local area and feeding into national and European research projects, some of which highlight the importance of children’s rights and safeguarding children. For the past 5 years, she has been volunteering at Barnardo’s, and has been involved in multiple projects and opportunities which enable young people to fight against Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE). She started off by working to prevent young people going missing from home; this then moved on to developing an information pack which helps young people address risks and make positive choices. She was also asked to feed into the development of the Wud U app. Jodie is often asked to engage in research to ensure young people’s views are heard. With funding from the Police Crime Commissioner, she was part of a group who wrote and starred in a film called ‘It’s Not Your Fault’ which follows the lives of 5 girls affected by CSE. Due to her passion to help improve the lives of others through empowering young people to speak out against sexual violence and work to support gender equality within her local area, earlier this year she was sponsored by SI Middlesbrough and The National Alliance of Women’s Organisations to speak at the UN’s 61st Commission on the Status of Women in New York.

He has numerous theatre credits including: Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro), Zuniga (Carmen), Dr Bartolo (The Marriage of Figaro), Sarastro (The Magic Flute), and Phantom (Phantom of the Opera).

Aaron was a featured soloist in the Royal Albert Hall for the Festival of Massed Male Voice Choirs in May 2015 after winning the Geraint Morris Memorial Award. In October 2014 Aaron competed as part of the Bryn Terfel Scholarship where he was coached by John Owen Jones. As well as Musical Theatre, Aaron has always had a passion for performing Swing and Big Band classics and continues to do so. This is not Aaron’s first Soroptimist Conference – in 2009 as a 9-year old, he accompanied his grandma, a member of SI Haverfordwest, to hear Chris Moon.

BRISTOL MILITARY WIVES CHOIR @ BristolMWC Military Wives Choirs provide a head-start for women in the military community to make new friends, connect with local communities and learn new skills in a fun and supportive environment. Families of service personnel move around frequently and it can be tough to put down roots, make new friends and get to know people. Add to that the stresses and strains of loved ones being deployed away from home, often for long periods, and life can have its challenges. By coming together to sing, each choir creates a valuable support network for women in the military community. Choir members can help one another through the tough times, celebrate the good times and sing through it all together! Bristol Military Wives Choir started in December 2012 and has grown from 12 ladies on the first night to a membership of 45 and growing. Most ladies are posted here for 2 years but we do have several veterans’ wives or non-mobile spouses. We are a tri-service choir with ladies attached to the Navy, Army and Air Force and also some overseas families and MOD support staff are represented.

THE PHIL DANDO BAND AND SINGERS @PhilDandoBand The Phil Dando Band, formed in 1992, is an experienced, professional band, which has a large, varied and unique music library. The band performs music from the 1920’s through to the present day including Big Band Swing, Rat Pack, Classic Pops Jazz and much more. Along with the current vocalists, Petra Morgan and Lee Gilbert, the band has performed at many different venues from village halls to the Mayfair and Claridge’s Hotels.

MARIET VERHOEF-COHEN Soroptimist International President 2017 - 2019 Dear Soroptimists of Great Britain and Ireland As one of my first events after assuming the office of SI President, it is a pleasure and an honour to attend SIGBI’s 83rd Annual Federation Conference in Cardiff and to meet as many members of your Federation as possible! The Conference theme, “Step Up, Lead the Way”, is highly appropriate as both an appeal and an inspiration – also for Soroptimist International, as we explore paths to secure the future of our organisation. After all, we have important challenges in our role as a “global voice for women”! Working together, Soroptimists throughout the world can lead the way to achieving gender equality. As women in business and professions we know that empowering women and girls with more choices and greater freedom is crucial to ensuring a better future. Let us use our influence to lead the way to a world free from poverty and with human rights for all, with no abuse and where women are treated with respect and dignity. In this spirit I look forward to seeing you in Cardiff! Mariet #SoroptimistCardiff2017 83rd Federation Conference 17 Step Up, Lead the Way
