Zonta & Ohio National Guard join together for Destined 2 Lead - Leadership Forum
On June 4, seven Zontians facilitated a Destined2Lead leadership forum at the Ohio National Guard's Teen Retreat at Camp Nuhop in Mohican State Park. After enjoying a few icebreakers, nineteen daughters of military personnel and five counselors participated in small group discussions and shared experiences and relationships that have shaped their values. The three part program helped the girls to discover their leadership in action.
The following Zontians enjoyed facilitating at this fun and fulfilling forum: Bobbi Allen, Judy Gilliam, Margot Hoffman, Louise Kutz, Suzanne Martin, Kathy Ryan and Alice Tyler.
