Message from our President
Zonta is an international organization dedicated to “Build a Better World for Women and Girls” by empowering women through service and advocacy. It isn’t always easy – but it is always rewarding. We find joy in doing this in a supportive community of like-minded professionals from diverse countries and cultures.
Currently our club has two areas of focus – one is on women’s mental health. We know that in our local community there are not enough resources for women who have mental health concerns. We also know that poverty, violence, homelessness and addiction often go hand in hand with mental health challenges, and so, our fundraising and advocacy efforts partner with community based agencies who tackle these issues and provide relief in these areas. The other area of focus is new for us – Zonta Says NOW to gender-equal climate action – to achieve climate justice for women and girls, locally and internationally.
I hope you will join us as a member, or a volunteer, to bring change to our community near and far, and give women power and strength.
