Holly Maddams

Director of Development

Holly joined the GBS|CIDP Foundation International in December of 2025.  She has more than 20 years of nonprofit leadership experience including organizations that address chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease.  Most recently, she served in a leadership role with the Arthritis Foundation focused on raising awareness, building relationships with the patient community, and partnering with healthcare providers and corporate parnters to secure support for critical programs, services, and research investments.

Holly has a BS in English and a MPA in non-profit administration from Widener University.  Outside of work, she is a big Philly sports fan who enjoys cycling, any opportunity to be outside, and spending time with her adult sons – identical twins who have been her greatest adventure.  Originally from Media, Pennsylvania, Holly and her small but mighty rescue dog Milo enjoy living in the Delaware Valley.

“After seeing the challenges faced by family and friends living with autoimmune diseases and life-threatening diagnosis, I love that my work has led me to organizations that make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and families.”
