The Women’s Fund of the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation is excited to announce this year’s Nancy Armbrust Impact Award recipient. Rhonda Chandler, Founder and Executive Director of Lovin’ the Skin I’m In, has been selected as the 2026 Nancy Armbrust Impact Award Winner. Chandler will be honored at “Impactful, an event by the Women’s Fund” on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.

Rhonda truly embodies the heart of this award. She turns lived experience into leadership, creates spaces where women and girls are seen and valued, and delivers sustained community impact through action.

Through Lovin’ the Skin I’m In, Rhonda has built a nonprofit rooted in her personal commitment to ensure Black and Brown girls feel safe, confident, and proud of who they are. Over the past five years, her work has resulted in 20+ programs annually, serving more than 700 participants in 2025 alone – including students, caregivers, educators, and mentors. Her leadership is deeply relational and intentional; with many women she has mentored now serving as leaders themselves. One even progressed from participant to mentor.

While her work is deeply rooted in Brown County, Rhonda’s impact reaches across Northeast Wisconsin through schools, nonprofits, shelters, civic organizations, and regional partnerships. Her influence truly ripples, from classrooms to communities to the next generation of leaders.

The Nancy Armbrust Impact Award, given in partnership with Schreiber Foods and the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, includes a grant of $5,000 to be awarded to the recipient’s nonprofit organization of choice through the Women’s Fund biannual grant cycle.
