Zonta District IV, one of the regional areas of Zonta International,
is headed by a biannually appointed governor and is comprised of around 40
clubs located in Ontario, Canada and the western regions of New York, and
Pennsylvania. The District is currently divided into six areas, each with an
area director who is a member of the district board. Workshops are held every
spring across the district to update members on procedures, activities, and
other news. Local conferences are held each odd-numbered year to allow
participants to conduct District business.
In 1919 Buffalo playwright Marian de Forest and five other
businesswomen chartered the first Zonta club in Buffalo, New York. They
conceived Zonta as an organization that would network professional women and
advance women's rights. Within a year Zonta expanded into a confederation of
nine clubs with 600 members. By 1921 enough clubs had emerged in neighboring
states that a convention was held in Syracuse, New York to organize the clubs
and appoint a president.
Mary Jenkins, publisher of the Syracuse Herald, was elected the first
president of the Confederation of Zonta Clubs. Ever expanding, in 1930 the
Confederation chartered its first European club in Vienna, Austria and changed
its name to Zonta International. Helen W. Cleveland, a member of Zonta's
Toronto Club, was elected the international organization's first president.
Today Zonta International is divided into 30 Districts overseen by an
international board. The board is elected at biennial international conventions
and consists of seven elected directors and four elected officers, who form the
executive committee. Districts are overseen by a governor and lieutenant
governor and divided into areas and clubs, which elect directors and
presidents. Districts hold annual workshops and conferences every two
years.
Over the years, Zonta has greatly expanded their original mission.
Today they seek to advance the status of women through service and advocacy;
work to improve understanding, goodwill and peace through fellowship; promote
justice and universal respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms; unite
internationally to foster high ethical standards; and implement service
programs and support for members who serve their communities.
Zonta's service projects are international in scope, having since 1959
supported and consulted with several United Nations agencies, including the
United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the United Nations
International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF). Zonta also advances women's
rights through education, leadership, and youth development scholarships,
including the Amelia Earhart Fellowship, Young Women in Public Affairs Award,
and Z Clubs.
Always expanding with an increasing focus on international women's
affairs, in 2007 Zonta reported 1,200 clubs in 67 countries with a membership
of over 33,000.
