In Memory of Elke Johler-Duriez
Governor 2004-2006

After a short but violent illness borne with great courage , Elke Johler-Duriez died on August 2, 2008 in Bad Homburg.

Apart from being intensely engaged in fund-raising for the service project of her home club, Bad Homburg,  Elke was a thouroughly authentic international Zontian. In her Biennium as Governor, Elke brought a lot of movement into District 28. She pushed us to take new challenges. She motivated Zontians for new tasks, and gave assistance in realizing them. She was interested in the women in the different countries of our district. She did not shy the trouble of learning Italian because she wanted to be able to communicate with Italian Zontians. In the last two years, Elke acted as District Parliamentarian. She would have liked to go on with service for Zonta and present herself as a candidate for the position of International Director. Her serious illness, however, forced her to desist.

Area 02

Elke did a lot to further the Young Women in Public Affairs Award which she thought to be of prime importance. "Try to interest young women in equal rights, in environmental concerns, in sustainability – they are our future!" This is the message she gives us on our way.

 

We will miss Elke very much.
She was a devoted Zontian and to all who knew her closer also a good friend. Many things she initiated will keep on reminding us of her.
