About Us
Zonta is a worldwide service organization of executives in
business and the professions working
together to advance the status of women. The Confederation of Zonta
Clubs was organized at Buffalo, New York in 1919 and incorporated in
1922. Zonta has had its headquarters in Chicago since 1928.
The Zonta Club of Lansing was organized January 27, 1922, with a charter membership of twenty-nine by the Zonta Club of Detroit, one of the nine original Charter Clubs. The Club was incorporated in the State of Michigan on June 1, 1979.
It has been instrumental in chartering eight other Zonta Clubs,
thereby contributing to an expansion of programs that advance the
status of women.
Zonta Club of Lansing members meet on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at the University Club of Michigan State University.
The Zonta Club of Lansing is a member of District 15, Area 2 of
Zonta International. Denise Quarles is Governor, Karen
