Barb Rosenstein
Incoming CHW National President
Barb Rosenstein is a passionate and committed CHW supporter and has had many opportunities to understand and connect to the important work of CHW as a leading philanthropic organization.
As Incoming National President, Barb feels privileged to have the opportunity to make a real difference and a positive contribution to the lives of women and children in Israel and in Canada.
As a member of the CHW National Board, Barb co-chaired the hugely successful Starting Over Safely (S.0.S) Summer Campaign in both 2023 and 2024, and Fashion Blooms in 2023.
In her roles as CHW Toronto President (2020-2022) and Vice-President (2018-2020), Barb worked alongside many accomplished CHW staff and supporters while raising funds and leading numerous successful CHW campaigns and fundraising events. She has been a life member of CHW Toronto Tamid Chapter for many years.

Barb feels that nurturing the health and well-being of communities is vital work. CHW’s core values deeply resonate with her own, making her role within CHW both purposeful and meaningful.
Founded by visionary Jewish women in 1917, CHW (Canadian Hadassah-WIZO) is a non-political, non-partisan, national network of dedicated volunteers who believe that excellence and advancement of education, healthcare, and social services transcends politics, religion, and national boundaries.
