What our Volunteers say...

I was thinking of doing some casual volunteering when I was approached to join the Quota Club about 2 decades ago. Working full time the club activities gave me an opportunity to forget the day to day stresses of running a Business. For a small club we punch above our weight and we know we make a difference.

Quota has given me leadership opportunities for nearly thirty years. Currently I enjoy representing Quota as a delegate at the National Council of Women of Queensland.

When I joined Quota I was shy and rather reserved, though confident at work. That was then! Forty-one years later, I have taken on leadership roles in Quota and NCWQ when I became a Delegate from Quota. I’ve even spoken at an international Convention. I’ve made some wonderful friends in Quota and had lots of fun and fellowship. I’ve also found that when we combine our strengths and work together as a team, we are able to do so much more to help change lives.

Making a Difference

Quota Brisbane is a not for profit organisation dedicated to service, care and friendship. Quota members all over the World are working towards improving lives. You can make a difference too.
