Women of Achievement

The Woman of Achievement Award Luncheon

The 2026 Woman of Achievement Luncheon will be held on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at the Center for the Arts of Homer with food by Scratch Farmhouse Catering.

This event is an annual spring luncheon honoring a local woman who embodies the mission of Zonta. This award honors a woman who, through her contributions to the community, has improved the status of women or children. She is nominated by her peers and is a member of the local community.

The luncheon is also a fundraiser, allowing the Zonta Club of Cortland to contribute to the Cortland County agencies that benefit women and children, as well as providing scholarships to women in the county.

See below for three ways you can help us support local women & children.
