Membership

Why should you become a member?

Women and girls have made great strides throughout the past century. Yet many difficult and critical issues continue to create barriers to full equality. As we begin this new millennium: 70% of the world’s 1.3 billion absolute poor are women; 2/3 of the illiterate adults in the world are women; 2/3 of the children not in school are girls; 60 million women who would be alive today are “missing” because of violence associated with gender discrimination; women comprise 48% of the workforce, yet less than 5% hold senior management positions and only 10% hold seats in the world’s parliaments; every month of every year, over 40,000 women in developing nations die from pregnancy related causes.

Is Zonta for You?

The first thing you need to do is decide that a service club is for you. Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you have a sincere desire to help others in the community?
• Would you enjoy planning events that meet the civic, social, and educational needs of the community?
• Can you spare two hours a month for regular meetings?
• Can you dedicate approximately 2-6 hours a month to participate in local service projects?
• Do you enjoy meeting other women and working together to achieve a common goal?
