Biographical / Historical

The Zonta Club of Cheyenne was founded as a service organization in May, 1956. In October, 1956, the local chapter received its official charter from Zonta International. Membership consisted of women who worked as business executives and professionals. Their service goals were conducted at the local, district, and international levels to improve the legal, political, economic, and professional status of women. One of the organization’s most distinguished members is Amelia Earhart, and each January the Cheyenne Chapter and other chapters across the nation pay tribute to the famous female aviator and her lifetime achievements
