Many of us first met Sylvia serving on the Board of Second Story Women’s Centre or interacting with her as facilitator of Women in Business on the South Shore. Many non-profit boards tapped Sylvia’s accounting and organizational prowess to serve as Treasurer, and we, luckily, did likewise. She was the founding Treasurer for Be the Peace Institute, a stalwart supporter of our work to end gender-based violence, and a champion for women and their achievements for many years.
