The path to membership in Zonta International is very different for each of us. For some it is making a change in the community we live in while others find it is an opportunity to make an impact globally. Being part of a club gives us resources and a network to empower women.

In 1919 Marion de Forest founded an organization that would bring together women in professional positions and to advocate for women’s rights. Since then, Zontians around the world have dedicated the last century to empowering women. I am excited together we will celebrate Zonta’s Centennial Anniversary to honor Zonta’s past, our work in the present and our impact on the future.
