How Do I Join?
Membership in Zonta International and the Zonta Club of Trenton is by invitation only. We are an international women’s service organization dedicated to advancing the status of women locally and globally. Membership is a responsibility that requires time, resources, and financial commitments.
The membership committee will review your application to determine if you meet the eligibility requirements. These requirements include:
- The prospective member must be an executive or professional in a decision-making position in a recognized business or profession.
- The prospective member must work at least part time (the equivalent to 50 percent of a normal work week.
The committee then forwards the application for review and approval at the next monthly board meeting. If no there are no objections or questions regarding the prospective member’s eligibility, the prospective member will be mailed a letter inviting them to join our club.
Membership Classification
Member classification is based upon the prospective members occupation and the Zonta classification system, which is based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations.
