Barbara Pohlig has been a WRC phone volunteer for four years. After seeing several family members and friends struggle with divorce, custody and financial issues she knows that place like WRC can be a godsend for people in need. She also volunteers at the Chester County District Attorney's office.
Barbara has an RN from Villanova and recently received a masters degree in forensic medicine from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. She has two daughters, one son, and one granddaughter.
Last week Radnor Studio 21 invited WRC to be on MAIN LINE SUBURBAN LIFE: THE TV SHOW. The show was promoting the Flair '10 Women's Expo, an event that benefits the Women's Resource Center. Thanks to Barbara who did a great job representing WRC.
