Washington Area Women’s Foundation President Phyllis R. Caldwell Profiled in Washington Post

In many ways, I feel like I’m coming back to my childhood roots. I was born into a family of social action. . . . My parents were active in civil rights and community development initiatives my entire life. I was raised with the expectation that you leave the world a better place because you were there.
