Zontians attend annual fall conference [October 18, 2012]  Members of the Zonta Club of Lincoln attended the annual fall conference of Zonta International District 6. The conference, entitled "From Membership to Leadership: a Voyage of Discovery," took place Oct. 5-7 in Milwaukee, Wis.

During the three-day meeting, women representing Zonta clubs from Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin gathered to conduct the business of the district and attend educational workshops to learn a problem-solving tool called Cause Mapping.

Attendees heard from Sharon Langenbeck about the Zonta International Amelia Earhart Fellowship program. This program helps women pursuing advanced studies in the typically male-dominated fields of aerospace-related sciences and engineering to achieve their educational goals. Langenbeck is chairman of the Zonta International Amelia Earhart Fellowship committee and former section manager for mechanical engineering at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Susan Harmon, president of the Zonta Club of Lincoln, participated in the conference as the club's voting delegate, and Chris Huff, vice president, attended as the alternate. Another member attending was Becky Werth, past president.
