The Willoughby Award honors visionary women leaders in philanthropy who, like Colleen S. Willoughby, have taken the field in exciting, new directions. 

This year's changemaker is from the Women's Giving Circle of Howard County, Malynda Madzel!

Two glowing quotes about Malynda: 

She has helped to change the status quo for philanthropy in our community through the myriad of leadership positions she has held. Of particular importance is her work and commitment to bring more diverse voices to the philanthropic table. 

She's been a well-known philanthropic leader, has received prestigious awards, and has been honored several times as one of Maryland's Top 100 Women.
