Victoria Ten: Realizing personal potential in public work thanks to IDEA
Success
Victoria Ten, a teacher of English, moved to Kaliningrad from Kazakhstan. After taking Internet and World Wide Web Fundamentals at the Kaliningrad IDEA Center, she used her new skills to find information about Zonta International, a global organization of executives and professionals working together to advance the status of women worldwide through service and advocacy. Her enthusiasm and strong proactive position soon propelled Victoria to the position of the vice-president of Zonta International in Kaliningrad, and now she is getting ready to attend Zonta International Convention 2010 in San Antonio, TX (USA).
Overview
After moving to Kaliningrad, it took Victoria a long while to find her feet in the new place and secure permanent employment. In 2006 she completed Computer Fundamentals and attended a number of seminars at the local IDEA Center. Since she had always been interested in women’s public organizations, Victoria used her Internet skills and free Internet access time provided by the IDEA Center to find information about Zonta International. She soon joined the local chapter of the organization and quickly became one of its most active members. Three years later her initiative and determination propelled Victoria to the position of Zonta-Kaliningrad’s vice-president, and recently she was chosen to represent the chapter at Zonta International Convention 2010 in San Antonio, TX.
Victoria has used the Internet to find all the information about the conference program, obtaining the US visa, booking air tickets and making hotel reservations online, and maintains e-mail correspondence with the conference organizing committee on all conference-related matters. This important landmark in her life became possible due to her English proficiency and strong e-skills acquired at the IDEA Center.
