Zonta International is a leading global service and advocacy organization with more than 27,000 members worldwide.

The Story of the Zonta Emblem
While Zonta is active in 62 countries, our 1,133 Zonta clubs are not divided by country. Rather, our members work in geographic regions that transcend national and provincial borders. For example, Zonta Club of Ottawa Canada is part of Zonta District 2, that includes clubs in Montreal and many parts of New York State. This global structure enhances the truly international nature and scope of our mission and mandate.
