In 2021, District 1’s Amherst area received a letter from Zonta International President Sharon Lagenbeck announcing that Amherst was a winning club in the top 30 for Tier I! The club got to use the Club of Excellence badge for its website, print, and social media use. Can another club meet or exceed this achievement in 2023?
