Zonta International and Zonta Club of ABC

Zonta International is focused on the advancement of women world wide with the assistance of the funds or their local chapter members. Through their relationship with the UN Committee representatives in New York, Geneva, Paris and Vienna, Zonta is about to bring women's perspectives to efforts to improve education and health conditions and promote respect for and observance of the human rights and freedoms of people to the UN. Zonta International works to promote justice and universal respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. Also to be united internationally to foster high ethical standards, implement service programs and provide mutual support and fellowship for members who serve their communities, their nation and the world. Zonta International is focused on the advancement of the status of women world wide and works with the UN and other nations in order to achieve that goal
The Zonta Club of ABC does fund raisers and contributes to the international program through their membership fee and volunteer hours. The local organizations raise awareness on women's issues throughout the community and help support other groups such as the Haven of Rest. These women attend meetings and convention so that they themselves are more aware of issues women all around the world are dealing with.
Zonta International and Zonta Club of ABC are similar in that they have the same goals and contribute to the same scholarships and grants. Both organizations support one another financially with donations and work with other NGO's to help the betterment of women worldwide.

Zonta ABC and Me

The women representing Zonta of ABC have been incredibly helpful and welcoming! I began my contact with them through some simple e-mails. I presented them with the questions assigned for the blog and in return I received more than I could have ever hoped for or expected. I was presented with a multitude of knowledge along with an invitation to attend a potential members meeting. With Dani as my guest we attended the meeting. As soon as we arrived at the door we were greeted with smiling faces and led to a table where we met many very successful members of Zonta ABC and the Cleveland branch of Zonta as well. At the meeting all of the women introduced themselves and their occupations. All of the women were at the top of their field and dedicated to their membership to Zonta ABC. Since the meeting I have been sent more information through the mail on Zonta of ABC and Zonta International. All of the information that has been made available to me I have posted on this blog.
