Valerie Hahn Becomes SITM’s President for 2021 – 22

Valerie brings experience, enthusiasm and a great sense of purpose to her new role as SITM’s incoming President. A ten-year member of Soroptimist, Valerie has held several prior offices and is well prepared to lead the club in the upcoming year.

During a committee meeting early in her career with SITM Valerie had an “a- ha” moment when she realized how willing club members were to pitch right in and get to work. This cemented her commitment to SITM and she hasn’t stopped since. It also launched her theme for this coming year, Moving Forward, Making an Impact! The arrow epitomizes this theme and, as Installation Officer Chris Fegert observed, the arrow has one job – to fly straight and hit its target. We are confident that Valerie’s year as president will make a huge impact on the lives of women and girls in our community.

Congratulations Valerie!
