The Quota Brisbane/NCWQ Bursary was awarded for the first time in 2024 to Dr Shiney Seo who is one of six women studying Ophthalmology at the moment in Queensland. There were three applications received for the inaugural bursary which is in honour of past honorary life member Dr Laurel Macintosh who was an Ophthalmologist, a Quotarian and Past President of the National Council of Queensland. Laurel was a trail blazer in her time who also lead the National Council of Women of Australia (NCWA). She was referred to as a ‘Respectable Radical’ in a book published by the NCWA of the same name quotes Laurel a number of times.

Dr Shiney Seo joined the Quota Club of Brisbane President Shirley Leuthner and Margaret Vallance at the NCWQ President Sandy Smith’s table for lunch after the presentation of the Bursary on 20th July. Dr Seo is looking forward to attending a Conference on Ophthalmology in November.

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.
