"Equally important to dressing and supporting our clients, we view the "gathering of suits" as a way to educate the donors and volunteers in our community as to the challenges facing low-income women entering the workforce. Awareness -- in and of itself -- is the most important step in addressing societal challenges." -- Linda Meister, BOARD PRESIDENT
