(BALTIMORE – April 20, 2026) — At Black Wall Street BENEDETTO 2.0 ft. the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards, we proudly recognize Dionne Waldron McNeal, a leader whose work sits at the intersection of community, finance, and opportunity.
Since joining Fulton Bank in August 2017 as Vice President of Community Outreach for the Baltimore Market, Dionne has been a driving force behind the bank’s community impact strategy. She leads the Fulton Forward Initiative, a transformative effort focused on four critical pillars:
- Affordable housing and homeownership
- Job training and workforce development
- Financial literacy
- Economic empowerment
Through this work, Dionne collaborates across internal teams and community partners to ensure resources reach those who need them most—particularly underserved populations seeking pathways to stability and wealth-building.
With a strong background spanning both nonprofit and corporate sectors, Dionne has built a reputation as a trusted connector, advocate, and servant leader. Her commitment to uplifting others extends far beyond her professional role. Whether volunteering, mentoring, or simply showing up for her community, she embodies the spirit of service that defines Black Wall Street.
A resident of Pikesville, Maryland, Dionne is a proud wife, mother of two, and grandmother. She is also known for something equally powerful—her love of bringing people together through food, fellowship, and genuine care.
