A message from our president

This is an exciting time at ZEF as we celebrate 30 years of supporting the Zionsville Community Schools! Since 1995, we have served our school community by providing funds that promote academic excellence. We hope you will join us this year as we celebrate the past, invest today, and impact the future.

It is also a time of transition and growth for us as we say goodbye to Lyle Browne, our Executive Director for the last eight years, and look to expand our staff by adding a part-time Communications Manager. If you are interested in joining our team as a staff member, please follow the links below for job descriptions and instructions on how to apply (cover letters and resumes should be sent to zef@zcs.k12.in.us by May 16, 2025.)

Best,
Kim Lewis
ZEF Board President
