Vashti Horvat (pronounced: Vash-ti ORvat) is an Audit/Compliance professional and American-born businesswoman. Vashti and her family are supporters of several libraries in the USA and UK. At an early age, she was curious about the world, and always craved more knowledge. Vashti has traveled extensively and realized that no matter where her journey took her, she found comfort in knowing that there was a public library. Vashti explains: You can tell a lot about a location just by walking into their public library and searching the catalog of books. The family also supports other organizations such as: Houston Zoo Paver Program, National Women's History Museum (NWHM), Jewish National Fund - Trees for Israel, and the SOS Children's Village (Hungary).
Vashti splits her time between California, Texas, and Montréal, PQ, Canada
