Malynda Hawes Madzel of the Women's Giving Circle of Howard County, MD was recognized at the Philanos National Conference as the winner of the 2023 Willoughby Award.

Adapted from remarks by Crickett Woloson, past co-chair of the Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (or REDI) Committee of the Baltimore Women’s Giving Circle and trustee of The Elbow Fund, delivered at the Philanos POWER UP Conference "Stepping into Trust-Based Philanthropy" session on November 6, 2023. The session offered a chance for philanthropy peers to share learnings from shifts they've made to their grant processes. For the BWGC, the Grants Lab offered an opportunity to rethink, try, adjust, and try again.

Buffy Beaudoin-Schwartz wants the local business community to understand one thing about the recent women’s giving network national conference in Baltimore.
