SEE YOU IN YOKOHAMA! (c) Pacifico Yokohama
Cherry blossoms have been in full bloom in Japan along with plans for the 2018 Convention. The registration rates have exceeded recent convention records , and the building excitement for the five-day event is telling of what we can expect from our members in Japan. Convention is one of the few opportunities in the biennium for members from across the globe to gather face-to-face to share their passion for our mission of empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy. While Convention is our time to elect new leaders, set goals for the future and approve our new projects and programs, Convention is not only about business and bylaws. This gathering is also an opportunity to share ideas about how to best conduct efforts in service, advocacy, membership and contributions to the Zonta International Foundation. During the Share Your Story Festival, you will learn how club events and activities can spur region-wide momentum and effectively change the world.
Workshops The four convention workshops have diverse topics and have been designed to offer attendees insight on areas that matter to members. Learn how to use social media to attract attention to your local service and advocacy efforts; how to achieve goals by developing better communication skills and overcoming differences; how to create an action plan for your local advocacy actions; and how to create a club culture that delivers on Zonta’s mission and exceeds member expectations.
