Women mentoring Women! How much can we influence and change the path of another young woman? How can we help to bring change and promise to a young life? Our Zonta Club of Geneva President, Emilie Sisson, wrote in our newsletter the following:
"Women leaders need to mentor other women. Statistically more men mentor other men than they do women. This means that men grow professionally and also help other men by providing networking opportunities and personal and professional counsel. Historically fewer women have mentored other women in the same manner. This trend needs to be reversed so women can grow professionally to become greater leaders and infuse the ranks of female leaders by not only mentoring other women, but by
encouraging those women who have been mentored to become mentors themselves. The November 2018 edition of Forbes magazine has an interesting article by Liz Elting entitled "4 Ways Women Mentoring Women Can Change the World." It is a very good read that describes specific steps women leaders need to take to effect change.
Here are the four ways Liz Elting advises women to pursue
to achieve success:
1. Create professional networks.
2. Open doors to leadership.
3. Create more opportunities.
4. Open doors to entrepreneurship."

Our Zonta Club of Geneva President, Emilie, wrote a powerful message on our monthly newsletter. We encourage you to read it, give it some thought, and let us know how we can all make a difference in this beautiful world of ours. Our next meeting is December 19th at The Rose Petal Inn, in Geneva, NY. Let us know if you are interested in attending, as we would love to welcome you.

"As we close 2018, we are grateful for the fortunate
circumstances that we are Americans. Zonta has blessed
many women around the world, yet we know there is more
work to be done. I am asking those in our club who are
willing to write a letter to the editor of the FINGER LAKES
TIMES and other weekly papers to do so by emphasizing the goals of Zonta in its campaign quest to end the Violence Against Women.
This year the focus is on ending Child Marriage which
affects 12 million girls worldwide. While we may think that
New York State is progressive in its laws of preventing child marriage, it was only in 1977 that New York raised the age of marriage for females to 18, although a 17 year old can marry with the consent of the New York Supreme Court or Family Court Process. Today, around the world, females are still being married at 10 and younger!
Protecting women and children is still an obvious basic
need. The United Nations on December 20, 1993 passed its "Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against
Women." This declaration is as relevant today as it was in
1993. Among its statements is: "Women are entitled to the
equal enjoyment and protection of all human rights and
fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social,
cultural, civil or any other field." As I celebrate the
beginning of a New Year, I join with our club in promoting
and actively working to create a world where women are
equal and equally protected."

Empowering young ladies, no matter what age they are, leads to successful young women who will forge their own path throughout their lives. It starts with support at home and outside the home, encouraging them to finish school and move on to college, which in turn will allow them to pass on the legacy. Zonta Club of Geneva has the most amazing fundraiser which raises funds to help two young ladies with their college tuition. Just in time for Valentines, check out the flyer below and think of the many people in your lives who would enjoy a little sweetness in their lives! Then, think of the fact that you have enabled two worthy young women to push forward!
