Historic election

Barbara House elected first female chair of WPA Board

PITTSBURGH — In a historic vote, the WPA Board of Directors Dec. 10 elected Barbara A. House of Branch 18 Lincoln Park, Mich., as its new chair, making her the first female chair of the nation's oldest and largest Hungarian fraternal benefit society.

"I am deeply honored," Mrs.

House said, "and I am very lucky to have the opportunity and privilege of working with people I love."

Mrs. House brings to her new position a wealth of experience in serving the Association and the fraternal benefit system on the local, state and national levels. She has been a member of the WPA Board for 17 years and has served as vice chair of the board since October 2007. She also has represented WPA at the Michigan Fraternal Congress (MFC), serving on numerous MFC committees.

All the while, she has continued to be a leader at Branch 18. Under her leadership as branch president, the branch continues to be one of the Association's largest and most active branches, conducting numerous fraternal, social and charitable events

every year and supporting many Hungarian organizations in Detroit and the surrounding area.

Mrs. House began her professional career in cosmetology, working as an instructor at the Michigan State College of Beauty. She owned and operated her own business, Barbara's Hair Gallery in Southgate, Mich., for nine years before assuming a position as a promotional representative for J.R. Marketing.

Mrs. House is also very active in the affairs of the Hungarian American community. She is a member of St. Charles Roman Catholic Church, Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church, the Hungarian Arts Club of Michigan, the Hungarian Room Committee of the University of Pittsburgh and many other Hungarian organizations.

She resides in Brownstown, Mich., with her husband Tom.
