Zonta Awardees Connected offers a living exchange via digital platforms and in person at Zonta events.

ZAC already exists as a LinkedIn group, a Slack group and a mailing list. We host regular (digital) meetings in order to get to know each other and to give us the opportunity to exchange our ideas about a range of topics concerning us as women. We will invite interested Zontians to these meetings as well, who can talk to us about their perspectives, and we will organize presentations.”

Apart from that, in the future, we would like to regularly meet in person at official Zonta conferences, as has happened in small groups already in the last couple of years:

• in Groningen, the Netherlands, during the District 29 Conference 2015
• in Nice, France, 2016 during the Zonta International Convention
• in Dortmund, Germany, during the District 29 Conference 2017
• in Tartu, Estonia, during the European Interdistrict Seminar
• in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, during the District 29 Conference 2019
• in Hamburg, Germany, during the Zonta International Convention 2022
• in Le Havre, France, during the District 29 Conference 2023

By actively spreading the word about ZAC, we now want to increase the reach of and awareness for these meetings. In general, each awardee is free to choose how much and how frequently they would like to participate in ZAC.
