The Zonta Club of Frederick was chartered in
1930. It is part of Zonta International, District 3,
Area
3. Our membership represents some of the most
distinguished business and professional careers,
including: certified public accountants, lawyers, social
workers, artists, medical practitioners, and business owners.
Zonta was founded in 1919 in Buffalo, New
York. The name is derived from a Sioux Indian word meaning
"honest and trustworthy." Zontians actively work to
improve the status of women, both internationally and locally.
Zonta International has worked as a Non-Governmental
Organization (NGO) with the United Nations since the U.N. was established in 1945.
Zonta differs from other service clubs
because it offers an environment where women of diverse professions
and ages can join together in membership, fundraising, networking and
hands-on service projects to benefit the local, regional and
international communities.
Zonta International
is a worldwide service organization of executives in business
and the professions working together to advance the status of
women
