If I am on the fence about attending, what else should I consider?
You will learn more about Zonta’s mission and programs: the passion of speakers, Zonta International Director Vivienne Shen, former Zonta International President Mary Ellen Bittner, and other attendees will inspire and motivate you to take action on issues of gender equality. You will learn and grow as an individual and as a Zontian. In-person events deepen connections within our diverse but like-minded community and help you to see beyond your club. The informal chats that occur between sessions often lead to ideas that can be used to infuse the Zonta Spirit in your club. We will celebrate first-timers who attend by keeping the cost to $99, making it even more affordable. Fall Conference is fun! Social events, networking, celebrating the power of women, sharing stories, visiting a great city on the sea and enjoying all it has to offer. You deserve some fun.
As Delegates are voting online before the actual conference, are they required to attend?
No. While we of course want ALL members to attend if at all possible, delegates will not be voting at Conference and are not required to attend.
Who should attend Friday night? The formal conference starts on Saturday.
Friday evening, starting at 6, will be informal. Those who arrive by 6 will go through registration and get all the conference materials. They will have an opportunity to meet folks from the District, learn about how the weekend will play out, enjoy some entertainment, and camaraderie. Everyone who is able is encouraged to attend to get the full experience of a Zonta Conference.
The formal program starts bright and early Saturday morning.
