Dear Zonta Club Members of District 14

In 2025 Zonta continues the efforts in building a better world for women and girls.

Congratulation to Maria Lipovenko, she won the international Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship (JMK) 2024. This Scholarship will be discontinued. Potential applicants may refer to the new Zonta Women in Business Leadership Award. The application forms of this new award and for the new Zonta Women in STEM Award are available now.

The renamed award for Young Women in Leadership is now running in all clubs and the deadline to send candidates to the district will end April 1st.

To enhance communication and information exchange among all Zontians of District 14, we are organizing a

ZOOM meeting on March 1, 2025, at 10:00 AM (Meeting ID: 895 1050 9060, Passcode: 818598).

All members are invited to join. Key topics will include the new structure and naming of the awards, the 40th anniversary campaign of the Zonta Foundation for Women, and other relevant matters.

If you have specific topics to discuss or suggestions for the agenda, please email registration@zonta-district14.org.
We look forward to your participation!

Z and Golden Z Club News

By growing new Z and Golden Z Clubs we inspire young women for the goals and mission of Zonta. Last biennium we successfully founded Golden Z Club Lovassy Veszprém and Golden Z Club Olympe (see picture). The entire district wishes good luck to the young women and much joy in their commitment to our ZONTA goals.

Special thanks are due to Nóra Kristóf (ZC Veszprém) and Réka Németh (ZC Sombathely, Area Director 01+02 and member of the chair team) for their excellent support in founding the Veszprém club. We would also like to thank the members of ZC Fränkisches Seenland for their great commitment and for their support in the "birth" of their new Golden Z Club Olympe.

At the International Conference in Brisbane, a resolution was passed regarding the status of the Golden Z Clubs in the Zonta organization (applies from the time of its adoption for the current biennium 2024-2026). Young Zontians are now registered by name as club members at ZI via the sponsoring club. As a result, they are no longer a "club project" at ZI, but independent Zontians with access rights to all information in the member area of the Union and ZI.

Especially in the Instagram posts, you can see the current and controversial topics that are important for young women in today's society and on which we should focus our attention.

If you like follow the clubs on Instagram: Golden Z Club Würzburg Amelia, Golden Z Club Olympe, Golden Z Club Aschaffenburg, Lovassy Golden Z Club, Cedars Z Club Beirut.

The District 14 Committee Chair Team for Z and Golden Z Clubs around Gundula Viering is ready to support you with advice and assistance in the founding of a young club. Please just send an email to gundulaviering.zonta@gmx.de
