Bylaw Highlights
• Membership: Article XIV continues to state
that to be invited to membership, a candidate
shall be actively engaged in or have experience
in a recognized business or profession in a decision
making capacity.
• Governor: The word “District” has been eliminated before the word Governor in the list of district officers. No other level of Zonta has a Governor.
Slide #13
Bylaw Highlights cont’d
• Committees: There shall be an Organization, Membership and Classification Committee,
a Service Committee, a Legislative Awareness
and Advocacy Committee and such other
committees as the club board may authorize to achieve biennium goals.
• Resolution: Daily Convention Fee: It will now be possible for non-delegate Zontians and guests to register for a single day of the convention.
Slide #14
Dues Increase
Delegates approved a $15 dues increase starting in 2011.
The increase is needed for several reasons including:• Membership number decrease of over 1200 since 2004
• Bank interest rates historically low
• Rose fund paying operating expenses instead of going to service
• Only 40% of members gave voluntary $15 dues in 2008
• Only 10% of members give personal contribution to ZIF, although 80% of clubs do
• Funds have to be taken from reserves, leaving them dangerously low
Some of the ways Zonta International cut costs are:• Amalgamated ZI and ZIF Boards
• Consolidated accounting for ZI and ZIF
• Outsourced accounting so we pay only when used
• Negotiations with service providers
• Three instead of four Zontian magazine publications
• Staff losses from ZI were not replaced until absolute need was shown
