Greetings friend,
As we come to the end of this biennium and head into the next, I invite you all to reflect on our successes. We have accomplished so much in the last two years, and we should be proud of our achievements. Although world events set back gender equity, we bravely took bold actions across the globe to show the world why Zonta is needed now more than ever. We look at what is happening in our communities and take it upon ourselves to speak out against gender-based violence, take action for educational equality, advocate for climate justice and make efforts to ensure women are included in decision-making processes.
As Zontians, we continue to rise to every challenge coming our way – leading the way for change and encouraging others to follow in our footsteps. We made good progress in forming and chartering new clubs, while inspiring others to add their voices to our mission, cementing Zonta International's position as a global leader on gender equity. And, we met our biennial fundraising goal well before the end of the biennium.
I am excited to see all of you in Vancouver, Canada, and I invite all who cannot attend in person to join us as virtual attendees. Please note that to attend any events or sessions, you must register for them on the Convention Registration Portal.
Thank you for all your work in building a better world for women and girls during the 2024-2026 Biennium. Your passion, time, wonderful ideas and generous donations to the Zonta Foundation for Women have been instrumental in our success, and I am confident that with your continued commitment to our mission and values, we will achieve even greater things in the future. All the best for all Zontians for the next biennium.
Kind regards,
Salla Tuominen
President 2024-2026
