“Serving on the Board of Dress for Success for the past seven years has been an honor and a privilege.
During my tenure, I was fortunate to experience the organization's growth from primarily providing clothing, to now supporting women in all aspects of their workforce development journey. A special moment for me was seeing a client who I coached, share her career success during our 2022 annual gala.
I encourage everyone to consider ways to get involved with Dress for Success, through donations, volunteering, fund raising and attending the amazing events -- all of which support the mission of helping women find meaningful employment and at a livable wage.”
