Join Zonta Club of Corvallis
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 business meeting or evening program meeting. See meeting times below for information. Participation in a Zonta event, such as our annual Fundraiser or Football Shuttle, is a great way to get to know our members and our activities. After the first or second meeting attended, the membership committee will 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 our annual fundraiser (for scholarships and grants) and football shuttle fundraiser (to offset costs of the club), and regular payment of annual dues. In addition to these responsibilities, there are many other service and social opportunities in the club.
