Expansion from three to five districts and the office of Lieutenant Governor were implemented in this biennium. With the continued growth of Founder Region it was a necessary step and very needed to impose less travel on the directors and provide communication between region and clubs more advantageously.

"It was a privilege to serve as governor of such a great region as it provided me personally with the background in Soroptimism so necessary to aspire to higher office in Federation and Foundation." - Gov. Marjorie
