Candidacy for PAC Vice President
Bartosz Warzycha
Dear PAC Members,
My name is Bartosz Warzycha. My family moved to Ohio in 1996, and we have been members of PAC for as long as I can remember.
In 2018, I took over as Treasurer of PAC and have enjoyed being an intricate part of the Board for many years. I look forward to continuing to serve on the board in a different role as Vice President if I am elected.
My goal is to continue to strengthen the Polish American Community in Columbus, promote new memberships through attractive club events and initiatives, and help make PAC a memorable experience like the ones I had growing up. I am thankful for the opportunity!

Olimpia Dawidowicz
Dear PAC Members,
I was born in the city of Malbork, Poland in 1979, and moved to Columbus, Ohio in 2001, where I have lived ever since. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from Franklin University. Prior to coming to the United States, I studied Finance Management at the Greater Poland School of Business and Administration in Gdynia, where I received an Associate’s Degree in Financial Management Services.
My husband, Kris, and I met in Columbus in 2007 and have two sons, Conrad and Oscar. In March 2025, we celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary.
Since graduating, I have been working for a leading financial technology company based in Columbus that enables secure, auditable, and cashless transactions from cash payments at over 10,000 retail locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
I am currently running for the position of Treasurer at the Polish American Club of Columbus. With my background in accounting and finance, as well as years of professional experience in the financial technology industry, I am confident in my ability to manage the club’s finances responsibly and with transparency. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, traveling, and reading. My family and I also share our home with a lovable 6-year-old German Shepherd named Bella. I’m passionate about supporting the Polish-American community in Columbus and would be honored to contribute my skills and energy to help the club grow and thrive.
I invite everyone to volunteer for the Club. Your input matters—please vote!

Candidacy for PAC Secretary
Iwona Testani
Dear PAC Members,
I grew up in Tarnów, Poland, before moving to Shelton, Connecticut, in 1987. After 3.5 years there, my husband’s job took us to Atlanta, Georgia, and from there, we headed to Columbus, Ohio, after 7.5 years because of another job change.
This year, I’m running for the Secretary position, and I really appreciate all the club members and volunteers who have supported us over the years. I’d love to see more younger folks getting involved in the next five years. We need some fresh ideas and “new blood” to keep celebrating our Polish heritage.
One fun fact about me is that I absolutely love my mom’s homemade tomato soup paired with łazanki—it’s such a warm and comforting meal! And for dessert, I can’t resist a delicious tiramisu; it’s definitely a treat to look forward to!
My mom’s delicious soup is one of the things I truly cherish about visiting Poland. It’s simply the best and always brings back so many warm memories. When my kids were little, we made it a special tradition for them to visit Poland every year. As they became busier with school, we transitioned to visiting every two to three years. However, now I visit Poland yearly, either with my husband or by myself, to spend time with all my family there.
I invite everyone to get involved with the Club. Your voice matters—please come out and vote!
