Established by Zonta International in 1998 from a generous bequest by Jane M. Klausman, a member of the Zonta Club of Syracuse, New York USA, and the 1990-1995 Zonta International Parliamentarian, the Zonta Women in Business Award is awarded annually to women pursuing undergraduate or master’s degrees in business management. The program operates at the Zonta club, district/region and international levels.

This award is to be renamed for 2025 as the Zonta Women in Business Award.
