WIZO QUEENSLAND

President: Sylvia Lipski

As a child, Sylvia was brought into the WIZO fold at the age of 12 and has so many fond memories of attending meetings with her beautiful mother Leah, pictured below.

Leah Lipski was an Executive member for many years and held the position of Treasurer for WIZO Hadassim-Sharon and she taught Sylvia the importance of WIZO, something which Sylvia still holds so dear to her heart decades later. Leah was renowned for her classic cheese cake and Sylvia remembers they were never allowed to sneak a piece.

Both of Sylvia’s parents, Chaim and Leah, were honoured with Life Governors of Ahuzhat Yeladim, the certificate hung proudly in their home.

Sylvia held the position of President WIZO Aviva for several years and became Executive Director of WIZO Queensland for over 25 years, a position she loved.

The passion Sylvia holds within her heart for WIZO is great and she wishes to inspire others to join this amazing organisation.
