Erin Badillo on Live! in the Bay: Celebrating 20,000 Women and Women Who Inspire
The right outfit can make a great first impression, but the confidence to succeed can change a life.
Our Executive Director Erin Badillo joined host Jess Wells on KRON4’s Live! in the Bay to talk about our work and a milestone we’re proud to share. This month, we reach 20,000 women served since Dress for Success San Francisco opened our doors in 2006. Since 2012, our San Jose office has been a big part of that story, helping South Bay women achieve economic mobility through workplace attire, coaching, career development tools, and a network of support.
Erin also shared a preview of Women Who Inspire, our signature San Jose fundraiser, taking place this Thursday, October 22, at the San Jose Woman’s Club. The event is officially SOLD OUT! We can’t wait to celebrate the leaders making a difference in our community with everyone who will be in the room.
