Board of Directors

Wendy officially joined Soroptimist in 2003. However, having grown up with Soroptimist, she says she unofficially joined in 1972 and proudly shares with everyone that she is a third-generation Soroptimist. Wendy has held several positions at the club level and has also served the District and Region. Wendy has been in retail management for 30 years and is currently a store manager for J.Jill. When not working, Wendy enjoys working in her yard and around her home, a DIYer for sure. Her other joy is spending time with her family and friends.

Since her youth, Chris has spent most of her life supporting non-profit organizations from the YWCA, Girl Scouts, YMCA to the Gresham Historical Society and Soroptimist, all of which she has taken on leadership roles. It became her passion to help where needed and to accept when asked. While she took time away from Soroptimist to raise her daughter, she came back renewed with ideas and skills learned from her time with the YMCA. She will always be a Soroptimist working to achieve the best for women.

Catherine Dorn joined SI of Albany (OR) in 2013, after attending the group’s Walk for the Cause with her best friend. Soroptimist’s mission and commitment to community were just what she was looking for in her adopted hometown of Albany. She put her mass communications degree to use and became the Club’s Publicity Chair and the Walk Publicity Chair, eventually serving as Club President and now Walk Chair. A 1996 graduate of Linfield University, Catherine is a quality manager for a specialty-materials company in Albany. If you’ve flown in an airplane or had an MRI, she probably either certified the metal components or watched them being made. She lives in Albany with her husband Dan, their 19-year-old daughter Megan, and their two mutts Winnie and Sadie. Despite mailing tuition money to the Beavs, her heart belongs to the Ducks and the Timbers. She loves the Oregon Coast, reading, baking, and volunteering with the local community theater.

Becky McGinty became a member of Soroptimist Port Angeles Jet Set the minute she heard the organization focused on improving the lives of women and girls. Her own personal beliefs of supporting women fit right in with the organization’s goals. Becky’s own success in life was due to the support of strong women and it was time to give back and continue that legacy. Becky has served her club as both Treasurer and President and is excited to serve the Region and put her 30 years of accounting experience to serve the Soroptimist goals.
