As President of the Greater Mondawmin Coordinating Council since 2012, Jacqueline (Jackie) Caldwell is the Godmother of Mondawmin — righting wrongs, fighting crime, improving housing, raising money, boosting spirits and attending meeting after meeting with elected officials to make sure Mondawmin is, in her words, “at the table and not on the menu.” That’s in her spare time.

The Greater Mondawmin Coordinating Council is a powerful non-profit umbrella group, involved in almost every decision that affects the Mondawmin community. Eight neighborhood associations, as well as the Mondawmin Mall, Bon Secours Health Systems, Parks and People Foundation, the New Shiloh, Mt.
