Congratulations to Westchester resident Sylvia Wil

Congratulations to Westchester resident Sylvia Wilson for being named AMCS's Community Builder awardee! Sylvia will be honored at the nonprofit’s Spring into Wellness Gala in May, which raises money for mental health services.

Sylvia is being recognized for her volunteer work in the community, as well as building connections between people and groups. She is currently a member of the AMCS and the Westchester Family YMCA Board of Directors, and served as an elected member of the Neighborhood Council of Westchester/Playa from 2019 to 2023. She has been a steadfast supporter of community mental health, and of AMCS in particular, and recently held a wine fundraiser for the nonprofit. Sylvia is also an active admin with the “Parenting Sisterhood in Westchester, PDR and PV,” and a proud member of the Rotary Club of Westchester! 👏
