ZONTA INTERNATIONAL | 100 Years of Empowered Women

Founded in 1919, Zonta International is a leading global organization of professionals empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy. With more than 30,000 members belonging to more than 1,200 Zonta Clubs in 67 countries and geographic areas, Zontians all over the world volunteer their time, talents and support to local and international service projects, as well as scholarship programs aimed at fulfilling Zonta's mission and objectives. 

30,000 members in 67 countries working together to improve the lives of women and girls.

Nearly 100 years ago, founding member, Marian de Forest dreamed of an organization that would bring together women in executive positions and help them reach their rightful places in the professions that rarely had women leaders. Since the creation of Zonta International in 1919, our members have dedicated the last century to empowering women, both in and outside of Zonta. To celebrate these achievements, Zontians around the globe will take part in a two-year celebration to honor the past while heralding the future. 

Join us in Japan when we commence our celebration at our 2018 International Convention and follow the festivities all the way to 2020.
