about young executives for success |
  |
Dress for Success Seattle is excited to announce the launch of Young Executives for Success (Y.E.S!). Y.E.S! is a volunteer branch of Dress for Success geared toward young professional women, and offers a fresh new approach to networking and fundraising in Seattle. It is where business and philanthropy come to meet and mingle through exciting events that "raise the fun" while "raising funds" for the organization.
We believe amazing things can happen when women get together to help other women. This happens on two levels at Y.E.S!
v Women make new and powerful connections with other women at our events
v They also have a positive impact on the lives of disadvantaged women in our community through their support of Dress for Success!

why get involved |
|
|
The Y.E.S! Concept - Launched in New York in 2005, Y.E.S.! now has several branches worldwide that provide professional women with a chance to connect with each other while increasing the awareness of the overall mission of Dress for Success. Additionally, the main purpose for Y.E.S.! has become raising funds for programs that help disadvantaged women gain self sufficiency.
The Y.E.S! Vision - To become the most innovative networking group in town, to reach out and help professional women feel part of something that is both fun and meaningful, and to enable Dress for Success to operate and help change the lives of women throughout the community.
How Y.E.S! Works - Y.E.S! is run entirely by volunteers; we have a great group of women who give their time, energy and ideas to provide value to Y.E.S! members.
