Women in Business: Making Change 2016

Dress for Success Worldwide is hosting its tenth annual Women in Business: Making Change power breakfast at Hotel Eventi on Friday, September 23, 2016. With an empowering address from our keynote speaker Carla Harris planned, Women in Business: Making Change aims to raise funds and awareness for our Financial Education Program.

Popularly known for providing women with professional attire to reenter the workforce, it is actually the career development and retention programming that is the cornerstone of our organization—and educating women on what to do with their money once they are making money through the Financial Education Program is a key component of that. During this program, women learn the most effective ways to save and manage their money to maintain a financially prosperous life, even through the rough patches that many of them have endured to reach this level of success.

Carla Harris is a Vice Chairman, Wealth Management, Managing Director and Senior Client Advisor at Morgan Stanley. She is responsible for increasing client connectivity and penetration to enhance revenue generation across the firm. She formerly headed the Emerging Manager Platform, the equity capital markets effort for the consumer and retail industries and was responsible for Equity Private Placements. Ms. Harris has extensive industry experiences in the technology, media, retail, telecommunications, transportation, industrial, and healthcare sectors. In August 2013, Carla Harris was appointed by President Barack Obama to chair the National Women’s Business Council.

This is guaranteed to be an amazing morning of inspiration and empowerment, so mark your calendars now!  And, of course, don't hesitate to contact us to find out how you can become a sponsor or purchase a table.
