Zonta Club of Midland is offering a $500 local scholarship for the Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship.  Women make up nearly 50 percent of the global workforce; however, gender equality is not yet a reality in senior management and corporate boardrooms around the world.  To encourage more women to pursue education and careers in business, Zonta International established the Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship.   Women of any age, pursuing an accredited business or business-related program who demonstrate outstanding potential in the field, are eligible and encouraged to apply.  The Midland winner will be referred to the District and eligible for a $2000 scholarship, and the District winner will be referred to the international scholarship and be eligible for an additional $8000 scholarship.  The application materials must be submitted to kasoto@dow.com by May 1. ​

Equal Pay Day - Work Smart Training

Women are still stuck at the level of the 20% Gender Wage Gap.  April 2, 2019 is the US Date for recognizing this dismal gap.  AAUW Midland MI Branch and Zonta Club of Midland are continuing to try to bring this gap to the attention of their members.  As part of our advocacy for Equal Pay, we are sending our members a link for the free course, Work Smart (https://salary.aauw.org).

Work Smart is a free AAUW online course that teaches all women who are in the workforce or returning to the workforce how to negotiate salary and benefits.  It gives information on women’s salary statistics, why they are at a 20% gender gap, and information helping women to negotiate to close the gap.  The course provides information on where to research salaries for specific jobs in specific locations, suggestions on how to conduct the salary negotiations and practice sessions for the negotiations.

We are asking our members to try the workshop and send it on to 5 more women regardless of their work status.  Even those not working will know working women who could benefit from this course.   All women young and old can profit from the knowledge in this course.
