We are incredibly proud and honored to celebrate Elizabeth Wienke, our exceptional General Manager, for being named one of the Top 25 Polish American Leaders!

Elizabeth’s leadership over the years has been nothing short of transformative, growing our community, improving every corner of our facility, and inspiring us all through her hard work, mentorship, and deep commitment to giving everyone a chance to thrive.

In her own words:

“I am truly honored to receive this recognition from our beloved Polonia community. Leadership is never a solo journey, I share this with my family, friends, mentors, volunteers, and all who strengthen our Polish American identity. We stand on the shoulders of generations who built a foundation of faith, family, and pride in our Polish roots. I’m proud to carry that legacy forward with passion, integrity, and love for Polonia.”

Dziękujemy, Elizabeth! Niech żyje Polonia!
