International / United Nations
What is the International/United Nations Committee?
The Zonta International UN Committee supports international efforts that improve the status of women and children. We identify local speakers who can share information on projects that impact the status of women worldwide, monitor the international efforts of Zonta International and identify ways in which our club can support these efforts. The International Committee helps to promote awareness of world-wide women’s health, educational and economic efforts through projects like the Boulder UN Day and Your English School. Our committee helps to educate our membership and our Boulder community on Zonta’s international projects.
