The Zonta House Committee currently consists of 10 members elected every two years and we have the following Sub Committees: Finance, Risk and Compliance, Strategic Projects and Partnerships and the RAP Leadership Group. Each Committee member is required to sit on one of our Sub Committees, whose members comprise both Committee members and non-Committee members. Both Committee and Sub Committee meetings are held bi-monthly with an additional strategy session annually.
