Hello Soroptimists, Changemakers and Friends,
It is my great pleasure to welcome all of you to the Soroptimist International South East Asia Pacific Conference of Clubs 2026 from 1 - 3 May 2026 at The Pacific Sutera, Sutera Harbour Resort, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. We gather with hearts full of purpose and hope, united by the theme: “Empowering Communities, Embracing Sustainability.”

This theme is more than a statement — it is a call to action. It reminds us that true empowerment happens when women and communities are given the tools, skills, and opportunities to shape their own future. And it challenges us to ensure that the future we help to build is one where people and the planet thrive together.

Each of our clubs has been doing inspiring work — from uplifting vulnerable women and girls, to championing education, health, livelihoods, and environmental responsibility. This conference is our opportunity to learn from one another, to share innovative ideas, and to strengthen the bonds that unite us across our diverse countries.

I encourage every one of you to participate — ask questions, share your experiences, and contribute your voice. Together, we can amplify the impact of our projects and create ripple effects that reach far beyond our own communities.

Let us make this gathering not only a time for learning and collaboration, but also a celebration of our shared vision — a world where women and girls are empowered, and sustainability is embraced in every aspect of life.

On behalf of the SISEAP 2026 Committee, I warmly welcome you all, and I look forward to the meaningful conversations and actions that will emerge from this conference.

Thank you, and let’s begin our journey together.
