The Zagreb Zonta Club was established in May 1994 after almost a year of preparations. This was a time when a third of Croatia's territory was occupied, several thousand Croatian soldiers and citizens had been slain, tens of thousands were wounded, and hundreds of thousands had been expelled from their own homes. There was a war in Croatia. Since Zonta International, as a rule, does not open new clubs under wartime circumstances, it took a lot of persuasion and arguments to make an exception. We, the members of the Zagreb Zonta Club, learned fast and made the best possible efforts to prove worthy of the trust that had been placed in our Club.
The Charter on Admission to Zonta International was personally conferred by Sonja Renfer, then the International President, and the ceremony was attended by other prominent Zontians, such as France de la Chaise Mutin, past International President, Cornelia Klauser Reucker, then the European Governor, Daniel Bridel, the permanent representative of Zonta International with the UN, and Eda Rainer, then the president of the Graz Zonta Club, the Club that acted as our sponsor and mentor during the period of our preparations and the first few months of our work.
The Zagreb Zonta Club currently has 21 members from a wide variety of professions, including managers, entrepreneurs, physicians, IT experts, musicians, university professors, translators, civil servants, marketing and public relations experts, language teachers, directors of various institutions, etc.

The Zagreb Zonta Club accepts new members at the invitation and proposal of another Club member, and with the unanimous consent of all other members. Enthusiasm, talent, dedication and commitment of each and every member constitute the essence of our engagement in the establishment of ties between general ZI objectives and the objectives of our local communities. After Dubravka Majic Trzun, the first charter president and the founder of the Zagreb Zonta Club, the position of club president was held by Darija Frank, Aleksandra Selak-Zivkovic and Andrea Maceljski.

The current members of the Board of Directors are Gordana Cerjan-Letica (Chairwoman), Slavica Jelic (Deputy Chairwoman), Jasmina Lukac Havranek (Deputy Chairwoman), Vesna Mihanovic (Secretary), Vesna Besenic-Kolic (Cashier), Andrea Maceljski and Zdenka Kolic-Kocmur (Board members).
