Zonta was founded in 1919 in Buffalo, New York. The Nineteenth Amendment had just been proposed granting women the right to vote and allowing women to participate more fully in careers and government.  Since the United Nations was formed in 1945 Zonta has worked with it as a Non-Governmental Organization.


 

The Zonta Club of Westchester meets on the third Tuesday of each month except in July and August, with programs that meet our objectives and goals, as well as provide fellowship and networking.
