3 SIA · CAMINO REAL REGION · 2018 CALL TO CONFERENCE

OFFICIAL CALL TO CONFERENCE

The Members of the Camino Real Region are hereby CALLED to the

40th Anniversary Spring Conference which will convene in Woodland Hills, California

at the Warner Center Marriott Hotel on April 20, 21, and 22, 2018.

Dear Members of the Camino Real Region Family,

Your Region Board and the Spring Conference Committee are planning a celebratory

gathering to highlight our 40 years of service to the Camino Real Region and to spotlight plans

for the future. If you have not attended a Spring Conference, this is the year to join us!

This year’s theme is WORKING AS ONE: INVESTING IN DREAMS. This theme not only

represents our Federation goal, but epitomizes what our 22 clubs have worked to achieve

during this biennium: Maintaining our individual club identities while “working as one” to ensure

that the women and girls in our respective service areas achieve their dreams. Yes, we

pursue dreams, we dare to dream, we capture dreams, we make dreams come true. We are

an amazing alliance of women with hearts of gold, possessing the inherent qualities of mutual

respect and support.

Get ready for a conference that will energize! As always, we will work hard, play hard, dream big, and never stop

believing that anything is possible. We encourage you to invite ALL members to attend and to bring prospective

members to selected events. Here’s a snapshot of what we have in store at this publication date . . . with more

surprises being planned:

• We welcome our SIA Board of Directors visitor, Heidi McNamar, who comes to us from Westbrook, CT.

Our Club presidents will engage in a special one-on-one “For Presidents Only” Friday workshop with

her.

• On FRIDAY, the Conference will open with the “Working as One” Luncheon. We have engaged a

featured Speaker who will inspire and motivate (open to guests and especially prospective members).

Following the luncheon, members and visitors will choose a 90 minute workshop to attend. The

Leadership Forum has something of interest for everyone: A New Members Reception hosted by our

GEMs, Membership Workshop, Supporting Club Projects through Grant Writing, and, (back by

popular demand) Healing Women With Words Workshop by Kim O’Hara. The evening will begin with a

Welcome Reception that is hosted by the Warner Center Marriott in honor of our 40 years of service,

and conclude with Our Anniversary Celebration and Awards Night which has many surprises in store.

This will be a MUST BE THERE event.

• SATURDAY’s agenda includes the Networking Breakfast; followed by our Business Meeting that will

include a “Celebration of Life”, Special Election for Region Governor, and General Election for the 2018-

20 Region Board. We have a special treat in store when we hear from some of our Dream It Be It (DIBI)

Participants during a special DIBI Luncheon honoring participating and supporting DIBI clubs (open to

guests and especially prospective members). The icing on our Anniversary cake will be our Installation

of the 2018-20 Region Board, followed by the GOVERNORS’ BALL held to bid farewell to the

outgoing Governor and welcome the incoming Governor (open to guests and especially prospective

members).

• SUNDAY will close our conference with the Live Your Dream Brunch which will recognize and honor

ALL club level winners as well as our Region Winners (open to guests and especially prospective mem-

bers).

There is so much more in store! There are so many surprises that you will miss if you aren’t there. Your Region

Team is eagerly and enthusiastically planning this Anniversary event. We look forward to hosting you. See you in

April!

Dear Camino Real Region Club Presidents,

SI of Simi Valley is Chairing the LYDA Swag Bag/Purses for this year’s Camino Real Region’s

Spring Conference. We are asking for 50 items from each club for these purses, a gift for those

winning recipients who attend this year’s Spring Conference Awards luncheon.

We are asking each club to donate items that the ladies would really appreciate and enjoy receiving.

Ideas such as beauty products, beauty services, jewelry, journals, gas cards, massages, facials and

gift cards are just some examples. You don’t have to donate 50 of any one thing but if you do mix it

up, please make sure that the value is comparable.

If you buy gift cards, please make sure that the cards can be used at stores or for services that are

located in all areas of our region so that somebody residing in Ventura can use a card given by a

club in Los Angeles. Amazon gift cards and other online cards would be a perfect fit. Do not donate

anything with business advertising on it.

Please give your club’s donations to your District Director by March 20th. District Director 1, Sharon

Jones, will then get these items from the other DD’s and I’ll get them from her with enough time for

our club to stuff the purses and wrap them in cellophane for the conference.

If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].

Thank you in advance for your club’s participation.

President Debbie SI of Simi Valley

The following requirements have been established for Soroptimist Clubs and commercial vendors participating in the 2018 Spring Conference Trade Fair, Marriott Warner Center, Woodland Hills, CA

A paid registration fee provides one draped 6’ table and a chair.

1. A clothing rack is equivalent to one table space (vendors are responsible for bringing their own rack).

2. Tables will be assigned by the Trade Fair Chairperson, Jo Ann Vindigni. Under no circumstances will vendors be permitted to move from their assigned spaces without express authorization from Chair, Jo Ann Vindigni.

3. Participation is on a first-come (and first paid) basis. Since many vendors offer similar or “same-type” products, those who register early will be given first preference. However, steps will be taken to limit the number of vendors selling similar types of merchandise.

Counterfeit consumer goods are not allowed in the Trade Fair.

6. All set-up and dismantling of displays is the sole responsibility of the participating SI Club or vendor.

7. Arrangements for electrical access can be made by contacting the Trade Fair Chairperson on or before April 1, 2018. Vendors must supply their own commercial-type extension cords.

Educational Background - B.S. in Business Management, University of Phoenix, 2001

Statement as to why you are willing to serve

I have always admired the "big thinking" of our Soroptimist vision. I have looked up to and raised my hand to help alongside incredible leaders, witnessing first hand "women at their best helping women to be their best". Over the course of 20 years I have seen many changes in our organization. While I cherish the lessons learned and the path forged to be here in this moment today, I also embrace the need to be relevant to today's woman and continue "building the new''. It would be my honor to serve as your 2018/2020 Camino Real Region Governor and work together to inspire women and girls to dream more, learn more, do more and become more. I feel my Soroptimist experience serving in various leadership roles makes me uniquely qualified to understand the challenges facing our organization and local clubs. I look forward to bringing my skill set in organizational management together with my institutional knowledge and passion for Soroptimist to this position. In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, "One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes...and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility." I choose SOROPTIMIST!
