Area 5
Area 5 Director Gretchen Copella
Gretchen has been a member of the ZC of Olean for 13 years.
Gretchen’s goals are to advance the objects of Zonta International is to make sure that each member knows the goals and how each can play a role in achieving them. For example, my work on the Olean club’s advocacy committee provided me an opportunity to not only work on the poster project but for us to bring in speakers and take part in a community project that brought further awareness. On an international scope, I believe it is critical that members understand how situations such as the withdrawal of US Troops in Afghanistan will impact the women and girls that live in that country and what we can do to support them.
