The purpose of the Zonta International Manual is to guide and facilitate the International Board in discharging its responsibilities. It describes the processes by which the Zonta International Board operates, directs and evaluates its role and effectiveness; it promotes uniformity and continuity in decision making so that the membership and staff of Zonta International have a sense of consistent management. It is not intended that the Manual be a static document; it must change as the operating environment changes upon decision from the Zonta International Board.
