About Us
E-club of Bavaria
In July 2017 the Zonta e-Club of Bavaria has been officially established as the first e-club in Germany.
About the Zonta E-Club of Bavaria
A Zonta E-Club is just like any traditional Zonta club. The only difference is that members meet online to coordinate service projects and enjoy fellowship with like minded Zontians. The Zonta E-Club of Bavaria is a member of Zonta International and also a member of District14. District 14 entails ZONTA Clubs of Bavaria and Thuringia in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Italy (Südtirol), Greek, Cyprus and Libanon.
The Zonta E-Club of Bavaria engages in local, national and global service and advocacy projects to empower women, participates in the Zonta International Foundation’s scholarship and award programs, and provides learning and leadership opportunities for its members and the community! Zonta is a club for professional women who are smart, active and want to make a difference in the lives of women and girls locally and internationally. Our vision is to be mentors for women in our community and to help empower them in their lives; to support the education and literacy of women; to encourage leadership and development of women; to provide assistance in proving the quality of life for women; to eliminate violence against women locally and internationally; to honor women for their significant contributions and achievements; and to be active participants serving our community. We are committed to improving the lives of women with sincerity, integrity and professionalism.

Becoming an e-club
Since our club's officially chartered in 2017, we constantly improve and transform our internal structure, project ideas and global output. We have virtual meetings once a month and 1-2 physical meetings that are organized regionally in Germany. We usually organize these physical meetings as weekend-long workshops with guest speakers, teambuilding, networking and leisure events.
