Zonta Foothills 2023-24 Advocacy for Positive Change
This year the Zonta Foothills Club Advocacy team’s goal is to increase public awareness of Zonta’s important work Zonta creating a better world for women and girls. In doing so, we hope to raise our club’s profile in the community, grow our membership and increase community support.
In addition, we are collaborating with the future leaders in our Pantherz ZClub and Flatirons Golden ZClub on advocacy-driven service projects.
Next year will be a pivotal election year for our state and our country - the outcomes will influence the entire globe. Issues affecting women and girls like climate equity, gender-based violence and women’s reproductive healthcare rights will be tested. We plan to support legislation and influence our elected representatives to further these goals. Our Z Club members will be critical partners in this advocacy helping to increase voter registration among their peers and potentially work with organizations like New Era on voter registration. We intend to strengthen Zonta’s voice in our community and position ourselves as key partners for elected representatives, community leaders, service organizations, and others who share our mission to make the world a better place for women and girls.
The Zonta Foothills Advocacy Committee will:
Advocate to ifluence laws and attitudes with the goal of assisting women to develop their full potential; advocacy efforts are within the framework of the Zonta Four Causes.
