Welcome to Zonta Club of Warren!
What Is Zonta?
Zonta International is a worldwide service organization of executives in business and the professions working together to advance the status of women. Zonta International is in 67 countries with more than 33,000 members in over 1,200 Clubs. Zonta’s world is divided into 32 Districts of which we are District 4.
On November 8, 1919 in Buffalo, New York, Marian de Forest, along with other prominent women leaders, forged ahead to begin the Confederation of Zonta Clubs. In 1927, when the Zonta Club of Toronto was chartered, the name was changed to Zonta International.
Zonta takes its name from the Lakota Sioux Indian word meaning “honest and trustworthy”.
Zonta has a long and well respected history of service provision to women, and is a key advocate for women’s’ rights. Zonta works in partnership with United Nations agencies, and like-minded organizations to address issues that impede the achievement of equality and empowerment, and to address gender violence in all its forms.
ENGAGING WOMEN THROUGH LEADERSHIP, INTEGRITY AND SERVICE District 4 is a District of “Firsts”-first Club (Buffalo) and first International Club (Toronto). It is comprised of 39 clubs in a region that includes Western Ontario, Western New York, and Western Pennsylvania. The District is divided into six areas, each with an Area Director who is a member of the District Board. Spring Workshops are held each year to update members on the latest procedures and information on activities within Zonta. Three are held covering the Northern, Southern and Central areas allowing Zontians to attend within a reasonable distance from their homes. District Conferences are held in the odd-numbered years and provide opportunities for Zontians to interact with each other while conducting District business.
Members in District 4 provide service to both their local and international communities through a wide range of service projects and events. Our members regularly support functions to acknowledge International Women’s Day and Zonta Rose Day, on the 8th March, and United Nations International Day for the Elimination of violence against women, November 25th.
