About Us

Our Zone is made up of members living and/or working in Niagara, Erie, Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties. Our meetings are held from September through May and our local Western Zone conference is held each Spring. We invite you to join us and become a part of a diverse and robust organization that continually works to enhance our members knowledge and skills, ensuring their students have the highest quality health and physical education programs possible.


If you have questions or want to get involved, we encourage you to reach out to the Zone President.
