I have been in Zonta for 35 years.  Zonta's mission of empowering women through service and advocacy calls to me.  We have made an impact both locally and internationally.

Ever since I joined Zonta, I have been involved in the Financial Literacy classes that Zonta holds in various places.  I have always had a passion for financial literacy and I'm glas to be a part of an organization that allows me to use my gift to help others.

I believe in the mission of Zonta, especially our efforts to empower women through service projects and advocacy.

More than five years ago, I made the decision to join Zonta because of the magnificent women I have met and have seen first-hand, they ways we are impacting women locally and around the world.  I look forward to remaining a Zontian because there is still so much work to be done.  Together, we're stronger and can accomplish great things.

Working in a predominately male field, I am humbled by the women acquaintances and friendships I've made through Zonta.

I'm so proud to be a founding member of Zonta.  I have met so many wonderful ladies that I would not have met otherwise.  I love all the projects that we do; helping so many people.  I enjoy being on the service committee and helping with the vo-tech graduation ceremony.

Raising strong women is very important to me.  This is why I love Zonta.  After all, everyone knows it's the women who get everything done!

Zonta gives me the opportunity to connect with other professional women, who are in a different field than myself.  It allows me to support and change our local community for the better.  But most important to me, is that it has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges women face around the world and what I can do to help!
