Dear Friends,

Happy Spring! This season brings with it thoughts of renewal and new life, and we are feeling that way at Dress for Success Palm Beaches! We are seeing an uptick in the women we serve, which means more women are interviewing for jobs, and getting hired. Thirteen women just completed our winter “Road to Success” program, and seven of them obtained employment even before the end of the eight-week program. Although this class was held virtually, we were able to host a graduation lunch in person. Even more promising, we plan to hold our next Road to Success program, which starts June 9, in person (we are still looking for a classroom to “borrow”; let us know if you know of a place!).

We have lots of other exciting things happening as well. We hired our first Belle Glade employee earlier this month. Please see below for a brief introduction to Alexandra Ramos, our Belle Glade Office Administrator. Born and raised in Belle Glade, we just know she is going to help us spread the word about how we can help women in the western communities!

Additionally, our community has been so generous with clothing donations that we can’t wait until fall for our “Shop for Success” sale; we are going to host an interim sale at our boutique in Palm Springs in May (see below for details). 

Finally, we are pleased to announce that our 2021 Annual Report is ready for your reading pleasure. Please take a look at the many wonderful things we accomplished in 2021, none of which we could have done without your ongoing support! 

 With Eternal Gratitude,

Mary Hart
Executive Director
Alexandra Ramos was born and raised in Belle Glade, and therefore not only understands the needs of the community but has built many strong relationships along the way. She has retail / fashion experience having worked in retail for nearly five years as an assistant store manager with Cato’s Fashion, and then at Marshall’s in a seasonal role.
 
Alex is a proud mom of two very athletic children. Outside of work, she volunteers as a coach for her son’s soccer and baseball leagues, and spends numerous hours at her daughter’s volleyball practices and games, mentoring the youth along the way. Alex loves everything Dress for Success stands for, and looks forward to seeing the transformation it will have on women in the western communities.
