Zonta Offers a Range of Scholarships
The Zonta Service Foundation of Corvallis offers three types of scholarships. Learn more about them and when applications will be available for the 2011-12 academic year.
How to Join Zonta
The best way to become a member of Zonta is to get in contact with a current Zonta member and ask them about Zonta, and let them know you would be interested in attending a meeting. If you don’t know a local Zontian, please contact us, and our membership chair will get in touch with you to make an introduction.
Steps Toward Zonta Membership
Individuals joining Zonta (both Women and Men) are encouraged to attend at least one luncheon business meeting, and an evening program meeting. See meeting times for information. Participation in a Zonta event, such as our annual Auction or Fair Parking, is a great way to get to know our members and our activities. After the first or second meeting attended, the sponsoring member will coordinate with the membership committee to offer a formal invitation to apply for membership. An application needs to be completed, and the membership committee will review qualifications and eligibility of the new member. Upon approval by the board, new members will be invited to join the club.
Responsibilities of Zonta Club of Corvallis Members
Being a Zontian has many benefits including the intrinsic rewards of service, enjoyment of great fellowship and advantages of strong mentoring, networking and support. The responsibilities of Zonta members include regular attendance at monthly meetings, participation on one of the active sub-committees of the club, participation in both of our annual fund raisers, the Zonta Auction and Fair Parking, and regular payment of annual dues. In addition to these responsibilities, there are many other service and social opportunities in the club.
