ZONTA CLUB OF THE PIKES PEAK AREA

Zonta would like to welcome new member Ellen Slavitz. Ellen, a member of the Mayor's Global Advisory Council, has already helped our Zonta chapter become more recognized in Colorado Springs as being an international organization with Zonta's application for awards, listing and participation in their International Awards Luncheon at the Broadmoor in January. Thanks, Ellen.

Ellen has a Masters in International and Intercultural Communication. She is very busy with her own business as a book indexer, an English composition instructor and is also a student in Adult Learning, Training and Development. She enjoys biking and other outdoor activities, healthy cooking, dancing, listening to (and singing) jazz. She is involved in other internationally-oriented groups, but appreciates that Zonta is for and about women.

As with all who are self-employed, Ellen appreciates that Zonta gets her out of the house to work with women with a range of interests and backgrounds and, also, shows her how a self-sufficient international organization functions. She says she enjoys people who have made interesting and original choices in their lives and those with self-awareness and "emotional intelligence".
