This year marks the 51st anniversary of the Live Your Dream program. Since 1972 Soroptimist has been giving education and training awards to women who are the primary financial support of themselves and their dependents, who have a financial need, and are enrolled or accepted into a vocational/skills training program or an undergraduate degree program.
On February 15 SITM recognized five outstanding women who have overcome extreme hardship to continue their education. Our guest speaker was Ana Chacon, a member of SITM. Ana received the Soroptimist Live Your Dream from SI Reno in 2016 and is also a 2016 SI Truckee Meadows Dreams Moving Forward recipient.
