Anne Ollikainen
District 18
QI of Barrie, Ontario, Canada

How long have you been a member of Quota International?
12 years

Why did you join Quota International?
I was looking to join a service club, but did not want to join the larger groups—also was looking for a club that served women and children primarily. Hearing impairment runs in the family—finding Quota answered all my needs.

What has been your most meaningful Quota experience?
The opportunity to meet people from around the world and convention is a bonus, but the most meaningful experience is working with my club members to raise money to help wherever we can.

What are your goals for your year as governor?
Working with the district and Canada Area director to increase membership within local clubs and develop a branch and a new club in the district.

What are your activities and interests outside of Quota?

• Photography, travel, cooking
• Enjoying the trailer on the weekends (which is very rustic, but good for camping)
• Family get-togethers
