SITM Welcomes New Board of Directors
New for this year SITM will have co-presidents sharing leadership responsibility. Long-time member and past president, Marilyn Pearson will be joined by Lisa Robinson, a relatively new member who brings experience from similar roles in other organizations.
The theme for this year is “Working 2 gether” which emphasizes SITM’s commitment to community. Says Lisa “This club has become to me more than I ever imagined. It is the warmest, most friendly and caring bunch of women who work tirelessly to help marginalized girls and women see their dreams come true through education as well as giving and serving in outreach projects here in Reno”.
Congratulations to Marilyn, Lisa and the entire 2025-26 Board!
SITM Awards 12 Scholarships to Local Students
Ten undergraduate and two graduate students received a combined total of $35,000 in Dreams Moving Forward scholarships on June 5. Recipients were selected for their focus on education and non-traditional fields of study, which range from agriculture to science, construction, information technology along with nursing and medicine. We have no doubt that these exceptional women will go on to excel in their education and careers, and that they will make a positive impact in their lives and their communities.
