2024 ZCJA Woman of the Year: Katy Leclair

Each year, the Zonta Club of the Joliet Area recognizes one of their members for making a significant contribution in the advancement and operation of the Club. Sometimes the efforts are very visible and other times the good work takes place behind the scenes. Joliet Area Zontians thoughtfully nominate one of their own who has utilized creativity, time and effort to help make a positive difference. This can be through active participation in support of meetings, service projects, publications/websites, fundraising, communications, recruitment; or other significant activities such as representing our Club at district and national meetings.

This year's recipient is Katy Leclair. Katy has been a club member since 2018, served on the Executive Board for two years as the Treasurer and most recently chaired the club's 50th anniversary celebration planning committee. Ms. Leclair is President and CEO of the Greater Joliet YMCA.
