Willo Carey

Executive Director, WHYY Wider Horizons

Willo Carey is Executive Director of Wider Horizons, a multimedia service developed by WHYY, the premier public broadcasting service for the Greater Philadelphia market, to address the needs and interests of the growing population approaching and in the second half of life - baby boomers planning their retirement or new careers, retirees and active elders, children of aging parents, and the frail homebound.

Willo has been with WHYY since 1981, as Director of Development, Campaign Director of a $15 million capital campaign completed in 1999, and a member of WHYY's executive management team. She serves on the External Advisory Board of the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute on Aging and the Advisory Board of the Delaware Valley Schweitzer Fellows Program and is past Vice Chair of the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging. Willo also serves on the Board of the Opera Company of Philadelphia and was the host of the 2009 and 2010 Philadelphia Orchestra Concert Series produced and broadcast by SpectiCast. A graduate of Mount Holyoke College, Ms. Carey did graduate work in sculpture at Tyler School of Art in Rome.
