Our membership includes distinguished and dynamic professionals in our community from diverse occupations in the public and private sectors who work in business, finance, education, government, science and manufacturing.
Membership in Zonta provides an opportunity to make a difference in the world by opening doors to friendships and associations with other professionals. As an international organization, global networking is a reality and available to each member to enhance the status of women.
We provide service to individuals and their families, fundraising to support important service projects as well as enriching our members’ personal lives.
