I’m so thrilled to welcome Phyllis as the next leader of The Women’s Foundation!
Phyllis and I share a number of common grounds, from careers in the banking industry, to long-time residency in the Washington metropolitan area, and our personal dedication to the women and girls of our region.
That’s why we’re so proud to welcome her as our new leader! Success in this role requires talent, experience and expertise—which Phyllis has in abundance. With more than 20 years of professional experience in sales and management and a decade of focus on community development and housing initiatives in low and moderate- income communities, Phyllis is the perfect fit to lead The Women’s Foundation.
Moreover, Phyllis has that crucial spark that defines The Women’s Foundation: passion.
Her membership in Washington 100 predates her appointment to President, as does her long-standing history with personal philanthropy and dedication to social change.
Phyllis gets it. She understands giving, our community, and the importance of investing in women and girls. Her passion, combined with her knowledge and expertise of how to bring partners together and generate community investments that build long-term social change, are sure to inspire us all!
Welcome, Phyllis! We all look forward to working with you to change the lives of women and girls, our community, and ourselves!
Deb Gandy is the chair of The Women’s Foundation’s board of directors and a director with Citi Private Bank.
