Meet the 2016–2018 Zonta International and Zonta International Foundation Boards
2016-2018 Zonta International and Zonta International Foundation Board at Zonta International Headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, USA, October 2016
At the 2016 Zonta International Convention, four officers and seven directors were elected to lead Zonta International and Zonta International Foundation through the next two years. Board members work together to oversee the best interests of Zonta International, its districts, clubs and the Zonta International Foundation through policies established by convention and provided in the bylaws and rules of procedure. They are accountable for duties that keep Zonta efficient both internally and externally. These tasks include, but are not limited to: strategic and long-range planning; budget approval; knowing and communicating objects, programs, policies, projects and goals; motivating membership and promoting Zonta. Members of the board also work continuously to keep lines of communication established to and between districts/region and international committees by serving as liaisons. Through their work, they ensure the districts’/region’s and committees’ ideas, concerns and needs are supported and presented to the board, and ensure board decisions are clearly interpreted and understood by the districts/region and committees. They are here to serve Zonta and support Zonta’s mission to empower women worldwide.
