Who we are:




Zonta is an intergenerational service organization of managers and executives, in business and the professions who volunteer their time, talents and energy to local and international service projects that are designed to advance the status of women and further a legacy of women's rights and progress that began in 1919.

We encourage women to advance in their careers and share friendship and fellowship through a local and global network of business and professional contacts who are engaged in a variety of occupations. Zontians work to improve the legal, political, economic, educational, health and professional status of women through community and international service.

Zonta Club of St. Paul was chartered in November of 1926. Our members represent a cross section of executives, managers, educators, professional designations, entrepreneurs, and others in supervisory positions.

The membersip committee is always receptive to new member applications.

We meet eleven times a year, generally the fourth Tuesday of the month. Our meetings are focused on women's issues and presented in a program, business and/or service venue. The meeting place and activity vary month to month depending upon topic. For further information check our Meetings page. Members are encouraged to attend meetings regularly to keep well informed as to the activities of the club, and to further their involvement.
