Historical Sketch
Quota International is a classified service club of executive professional and business women with membership by invitation only. The club was named from the Latin word “Quota” meaning “a share” and adopted the slogan “We Share”. With “We Share” as their motto, members contribute their time and talents to give personal service to the community in such areas as hospitals, schools, nursing homes, youth groups and safety programs. The principal unified service project for all Quotarians is “Shatter Silence”- to help those with hearing and speech impairments.
Wanda Frey Joiner founded Quota Club International in 1919 in Buffalo, New York. Ms. Joiner was born on September 4, 1882 in Odessa, Russia. At the age of nine she came with her family to Buffalo, New York. Her marriage to Robert Parks Joiner in 1910 came to an early end following his death less than three years later. When Wanda Frey Joiner founded Quota Club International, she was comptroller of the Buffalo Plate Glass Company. She started at the bottom and moved up to President and General Manager of the Morgan-Post Company, the first woman to hold such a position, when she retired and moved to Los Angeles, California.
Organizationally, Quota International arranged local Quota Clubs into districts. The Sixth District is comprised of Ohio. The district idea came about on January 20, 1934 in a meeting held in Akron. Quota International encouraged Quota Club members to organize districts for expansion purposes. When the Sixth District came into being, there were nine clubs responding to the roll call with a total of 285 members.
Notable changes for Quota Clubs came about during World War II. Clubs were faced with new problems and new service opportunities. Adapting their programs to conditions brought about by the war, the Sixth District clubs put their service projects aside and plunged into war work. They helped local rationing boards, volunteered assistance to the Red Cross and the U.S.O., organized First Aid classes and made contributions to the recreation of the wounded in Army Hospitals.
At this time, there were sixteen clubs in the District with a total membership of 432. Sixth District was the largest district in International and was the only one having both American and Canadian Clubs. By the Sixth District’s tenth annual Conference in 1943, International was concerned about its size. In early 1944 International decided to redistrict. As a result, Western New York and Ontario clubs were withdrawn from the Sixth District and placed in a new district. The clubs left in Sixth were those in Ohio and Michigan, which reduced the number to eleven.
In addition, before the twelfth annual conference came around, International removed all Michigan clubs from the Sixth District. A committee, appointed at the Dearborn meeting in 1945, drew up an amendment to the International Constitution which provided for a more democratic procedure for redistricting. The amendment was passed unanimously at the International Convention in St. Louis in 1946. Still, when the Sixth District held its thirteenth annual conference at Columbus in September 1946, it found itself with only nine clubs.
In the ensuing years, the Sixth District did reach a bountiful state with the addition of more clubs. The Sixth District is presently composed of eighteen clubs, which include the following: Akron, Alliance, Athens, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, East Liverpool, Elyria, Lake County, Lancaster, Lorain, Salem, Springfield, Toledo, Trumbull Valley, Wooster, and Youngstown.
In All, Quota International is composed of 500 clubs with more than 14,000 members in nine countries. Each club, which holds at least eighteen meetings a year and annual conferences, continues its service to the hearing and speech impaired. Clubs furnish financial support and purchase equipment to individuals, groups and schools. Quota Club members are able to successfully meet their goals through their personal service to help those in need on a local, regional and international level.
