Erin Badillo on Live! in the Bay: Celebrating 20 Years and 20,000 Women
The right outfit can make a great first impression, but the confidence to succeed can change a life.
Our Executive Director Erin Badillo joined host Jess Wells on KRON4’s Live! in the Bay to talk about that work and a milestone we’re proud to share. For 20 years, Dress for Success San Francisco and San Jose have helped Bay Area women achieve economic mobility through workplace attire, coaching, career development tools, and a network of support. This month, we reach 20,000 women served since we opened our doors in 2006.
Erin shared what that milestone means for our community and what’s ahead, including a preview of Women Who Inspire, our San Jose fundraiser this Thursday, October 22. The event is officially SOLD OUT, and we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone there.
