This is the program that I designed and developed for the fundraising fashion show that I managed as part of my work at Dress for Success Cincinnati.

2. OUR MISSION
The mission of Dress for Success is to advance low-income women’s economic and social
development and to encourage self-sufficiency through career development and
employment retention. Dress for Success responds to the needs of our communities by
providing programs that help economically disadvantaged women acquire jobs, retain
their new positions and succeed in the mainstream workplace.
OUR WORK
In our Simply Suited program, each client receives one suit when she has an interview scheduled and a
second suit when she obtains employment. No fees are ever charged to clients. We operate by referral
and appointment only. Each client is assisted on a one-to-one basis by trained volunteers. More than
70 local agencies refer women to our Simply Suited program. These include a continually expanding
array of not-for-profit and government agencies such as homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters,
job training programs, addiction treatment centers, literacy initiatives, and correctional facilities.
Our job-retention and development program, the Professional Women's Group, has received
recognition from the Department of Labor as an innovative and effective approach to job retention. The
program assists the newly employed in surviving the first weeks and months of employment by
providing education and structured support addressing life-skills issues that often interfere with the
ability to succeed. The PWG addresses the emotional, physical and professional issues that women
face as they strive to become self-sufficient and to succeed.
Each month, PWG members attend seminars presented by community leaders and experts on such
topics as: Rules of the Workplace, Financial Literacy, Work-Life Balance and Personal Development.
Career Corner is Dress for Success Cincinnati’s career assistance program. The Career Corner is a
program for PWG members who are seeking employment or are pursuing career advancement.
Members are provided resources to create and update resumes, conduct job searches, and receive
career guidance and counseling.
OUR RESULTS – More than 6,500 women served since 1999
In 2004:
85% of PWG members retained their job
56% improved one or more life skills including: Raise in pay or promotion; Completed or started
school/training program; Left public assistance; Improved credit; Opened a bank account

15. My thanks to you and everyone who supports Dress for
Success Cincinnati. This program was instrumental in
giving me the hope that I needed to hold my head up
high as I began not only my new job search, but my
new life. After being incarcerated for 3 years to protect
my boyfriend from facing serious drug charges, I was
very nervous about my future. Who would want to
hire an ex-felon? Even if I did get hired, I didn’t count
on it being much of a job. After having modeled for
Ebony Fashion Fair and working for American
Express, I felt like I’d be stuck in entry level positions
for the rest of my life.
Then, one day, I went to Dress for Success for my first
suit. After picking out my suit and accessories, I looked
in the mirror and felt a glimmer of hope. I looked good
and started feeling even better.
I now work for WCIN 1480 AM as a Senior Account
Executive and the Gospel Director. You can hear me on
air every Sunday morning.
I am honored to represent Dress for Success in the
2005 Women on the Move: A Fashionable Afternoon
fashion show and luncheon. I hope that my story
inspires the thousands of women who find themselves
in similar positions to look to organizations like Dress
for Success Cincinnati for the help and guidance they
need to succeed in their lives. I also hope that my story
inspires thousands of donors, foundations and
corporations to recognize how important Dress for
Success Cincinnati is to our community and the vital
role that it plays in improving women’s lives.
I’ll always be thankful to Dress for Success for giving
me hope again.
