This past month, I had the privilege to attend the Asian and European interdistrict meetings/seminars, where the Zonta Spirit was alive and thriving. Being surrounded by so many passionate advocates reminded me once again of the power we hold when we come together—across borders, cultures and generations—to advance our mission of building a better world for women and girls.
It was at the European Interdistrict Seminar that I was able to join President-Elect Fernanda Gallo-Freschi in announcing that Zonta International’s 68th Convention will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 8–11 July 2028. I encourage you to read more and save the date, but first I hope to see you Vancouver, Canada, next year!
This is a time to stay united. Around the world, we are witnessing shifting political landscapes, economic uncertainty and rising threats to women’s rights. But through it all, Zonta remains a constant force for change. Please read our statement where we show how we will remain steadfast in our mission, guided by our values and supported by the strength of our members.
As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Zonta Foundation for Women, I urge you to reflect on what Zonta has made possible over the past four decades—and what is still needed. Your continued donations are critical to sustaining our programs and reaching more women and girls with life-changing support. Now is the time to give boldly.
We understand that many of you have questions about how today’s volatile markets may affect the Foundation’s ability to grow and sustain our mission. Please read our latest update on stock market developments. It's essential to recognize that such fluctuations are a natural part of a market cycle, and the Foundation’s investment approach remains focused on long-term objectives. It is also important that we Zontians stay focused on our mission and continue to support it. By sending your donations in a timely way, we are able to optimize our investment approach and ensure we take advantage of any positive movements in the markets.
In these challenging times, our partnerships and global alliances have never been more vital. Learn why our international service projects (ISPs) and our partnerships are more important than ever and how they amplify our ability to drive sustainable change.
Let us continue to move forward together toward a sustainable future—with courage, compassion and Zonta Spirit.
