WORLDWIDE FOR FIFTH YEAR

New York, NY – (March 22, 2010) Dress for Success Worldwide, an international non-profit organization that promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women, is thrilled to announce its continued partnership with Robert Half International (RHI) this year.  A recognized leader in professional staffing and consulting services, Robert Half International will make a monetary contribution in addition to donating e-learning licenses for Dress for Success clients. 

Robert Half International has served as Dress for Success’s exclusive staffing sponsor for the past five years.
