BSHCH is a non-profit organization that supports and promotes Bulgarian culture across the US and Canada. Elka Rouskov manages a large board of volunteer and advisory council. She also oversees volunteer project managers and a professional accounting team. She regularly partners with other organizations such as the Ethnic Heritage Center and North West Folklife. Elka is also on the advisory board of the department of Slavic languages and literature at the University of Washington. Her excellent leadership, communication skills, vision, and energy have created a real sense of community in the greater Seattle area through a broad range of activities and events. We are happy to have Elka Rouskov as an advisory board member in the Bulgarian Women in Tech.
