ZONTA USA-1

The First E-Club in the United States

About Us


What is an E-Club 


The Perfect Club for Busy People

Many of us have families, demanding jobs, travel extensively  and commute.  We might be called "locationally challenged".  Although we want to become a member of a Zonta Club and Zonta International, our time demands frequently keep us from attending meetings, despite our best intentions.  Another typical member of an E-Club is someone who has moved to an area that does not have a Zonta Club but wants to continue as an active member.  The E-Club allows you to maintain your active membership and participate in regular meetings through the internet.  Finally, there are those of us who have been Zontians for many years and love the organization, but no longer can drive at night or have other restrictions which do not allow us to physically participate.  The E-Club is also the answer for this group of Zontians.  

What does a Z-Club Do?

  • We preform local service
  • We attend regular meetings through the internet

  • We provide the opportunity to build relationships
  • We meet the full criteria of Zonta membership
  • We attend District Meetings and Zonta International Conventions
