Success is not only about getting a job; it's about building a career.
We provide our clients with information that will help women unfamiliar with the workplace continue to develop skills and advance in their careers. The PWG offers members a comfortable atmosphere in which they can share, grow and network with other women who have recently made the same transition into the workforce
.

The mission of the Dress for Success Professional Women's Group (PWG) is to provide our network of Dress for Success women the partnership of support, practical information and inspiration to achieve self-defined success in career and life through monthly workshops.

Since the start of our monthly PWG meetings, for over a year and a half, the delicious meals have been generously sponsored by Sodexo at Bristol Myers Squibb. That adds up to more than:

  • 180 liters of water
  • 360 sandwiches
  • 720 cookies
  • 8,280 potato chips
As you can see, this is a lot of food!

Special thanks to Scott Raisch for his invaluable help and Sodexo for their continuous support!!!
