Austin’s Zonta Club wants to honor an outstanding woman.

The nominees and the woman selected to receive the award will be honored at Zonta’s Women of Achievement dinner at the Austin Country Club on March 27. Tickets are $30, with the proceeds going to three local scholarship programs supported by the Zonta Club.

The scholarships help three groups of women: high school students going on to college, college students working toward a business degree and non-traditional students who need funding for the GED test.

Nominations for the award must be completed by Jan. 27. Send nominations to sjones@sterlingstatebank.com or 1419 First Ave. SW in Austin.
