Dress for Success is an international non-profit organization that helps disadvantaged women go from suits to self-sufficiency. The Professional Women's Group is a networking and support group that meets once a month to teach career development and workplace survival strategies for our clients.

For more information regarding our mission, please visit www.dressforsuccess.org/orlando.

We are looking for people interested in assisting our Professional Women's Group for approximately 10 hours per month in the following roles:

*Assisting with calls to new and existing members regarding the meetings

*Follow-Up Programming (confirming speakers, sending thank-yous to speakers, creating agenda from templates)

*Meeting Coordination (confirming location, greeting members and guests, distributing and collecting member surveys, inputing data from member surveys for future use, setting up the room and assisting in clean up, etc.)

*Incentives (securing goodies for raffle prizes, soliciting donations of food and beverage, etc.)

We're looking for people who want to attend PWG meetings, as well as those interested in volunteering primarily from home (calls can easily be made from home). We need volunteers who are outgoing and confident (not afraid to ask for in-kind donations, etc.), with a strong sense of follow-up.
