Diane Curtis is the President of Zonta International for the 2010-2012 biennium. She has been a member of the Zonta Club of Santa Clarita Valley in California since 1980. She served as Governor of District 9, Chairman of the Convention Committe for the 1992 Convention in Hawaii, and has held all positions on the International Board except Treasurer.

Dianne wants the lives of those to whom we give service to improve. That improvement could be living free of fear, living healthy lives, ending violence against women and children, and building a better world full of love and peace.
