ZONTA
was organized in November 1919 in Buffalo, New York. Our founder was Marion
DeForest, a journalist and playwright. At a time when few women held leadership
positions she conceived the idea of a strong network of women. By March of 1919,
five women organized to achieve this mission and chartered the first Zonta club
in Buffalo, New York.
Zonta History
