DRESS FOR SUCCESS COMES TO THE BULFINCH GROUP

On Wednesday June 5th over fifty Newton-Needham Chamber of Commerce members and Bulfinch Group associates filled the Conference Center at our home office (top picture) to meet and hear Executive Director Kimberly Todd of Dress for Success, Boston. Kim spoke about their nonprofit's mission: to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Kim kicked off the exciting program with an overview of the organization's growth since 1996 and shared several success stories that Dress for Success, Boston is making to disadvantaged women in the Greater Boston area. The price of admission to the program was to bring in gently-used, business attire and accessories (on display in boxes and bags in the bottom picture).

“It was a joy to see the outpouring support by The Newton-Needham Chamber of Commerce for the wonderful work that Dress For Success does for women aspiring to enter (or re-enter) the workforce,” Peggy Romero of The Bulfinch Group.
