Since 1971, we have campaigned for gender equity and human rights.
Let Us Introduce Ourselves.
The Beginning.
Dorothy Thompson, on behalf of the Zonta Club of Toronto One, came to Brisbane to form the first Zonta Club in Queensland in 1971.
The Roots.
The Zonta Club of Brisbane was chartered on 21 October 1971 and started with 28 women, all trailblazers in their fields.
The Growth.
Over 53 years, the Zonta Club of Brisbane has welcomed hundreds of members and today we number more than 70 women dedicated to improving the lives of girls and women. Our work is ongoing.
Over 50 years of empowering women.
Our Club
Our Board.
The Club Board is elected by the members annually at the Annual General Meeting. The Board takes a leadership role but final decision-making is at the membership level – all important decisions are voted on by members at the monthly club meeting.
Our Members.
Our members come from all walks of life and share a deep passion for empowering women and girls. There’s no limit to what our members do. We have lawyers, accountants, musicians, teachers, social workers, journalists, and every profession you can think of.
Our District.
Our club is part of a network of 45 Zonta Clubs across Queensland as part of Zonta International District 22. We unite together to tackle bigger issues and make a meaningful impact on the Queensland community.
