How? Goal1: Service and Advocacy Zonta Says No to Violence Against Women Ending Early Child Marriages under this Umbrella At Least 3 Clubs Take Action to End Early Child Marriages Target Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, DC 12 Targeted International Countries Direct Advocacy Project to US Legislatures Join with Others Clubs, Districts share and learn more to empower women and girls 2 Clubs to partner with like organizations for empowerment of women and girls How? Through the years we have under the umbrella of our Say No to Violence pursued trafficking, all types of violence, now we are adding to End Early Child Marriages. While the ZI focus is on our 12 targeted countries, I would like us to include the states that we are in. Bobbee plans to take this issue to our US Legislature. The more of you that can join her on this, the stronger the message will be. The more we share with each other, the more we will learn more ways to empower women and girls. Clubs to join clubs in projects, even joining clubs in other districts. Another part of our goal is to have at least two clubs partner with a like-minded organization on a project to empower women and girls. Any ideas? 5

How? Goal1: Education Each Club Participates in 2 Student Awards YWPA, JMK, WIT (Women in Technology), AE Clubs Awareness Spreads to Community, States Members Take the Leadership Training Program Our scholarship programs and our Z and Golden Z clubs are our future members. We need to participate in these award programs and give them the opportunity to grow and to learn about us at the same time. As we learn more and more about how to empower women and girls, how to end early child marriages, we each need to first update our clubs on this, and then start spreading the awareness to our communities and our state. The leadership program is for every member – it’s an excellent way to learn more about Zonta. 6

How? Goal 2: Membership Pat, our Membership chair will discuss the strategies with you to accomplish these District goals. Obviously we all are challenged by retention, probably first, and by finding new members. All this and you are hearing from everyone that we need to infuse youth into our organizations. So how do we do all this? Get involved in youth programs – Z and Golden Z clubs, even Girl Scouts who actually have a similar mission statement as we. Nancy, you are involved with Girl Scouts? Have any of you kept a list of all the student awardees you have? What is a good way to keep in contact with our awardees?Overall net growth is a very logical step: the more members the more women we can empower. If each of us empowered one woman or girl, then look at how many we can help as club. 7
