Wilson Times: Dress for Success holding awareness luncheon

Dress for Success Triangle was featured in the Wilson Times ahead of its third annual Power of the Purse Luncheon, held at the Wilson County Agricultural Center on May 14 to support women in Wilson on their paths to career success.

The luncheon, which ran from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., raises funds for another year of programming. Dress for Success Triangle equips women with resources such as interview clothing and career development classes to help prepare them for professional careers, including through its mobile boutique unit, a shop on wheels that brings services directly into the community.

“At Dress for Success, we do more than provide professional attire,” said Kimberly Arnold, marketing director for Dress for Success Triangle. “We offer robust career development programs, mentoring and services that prepare women for job interviews, salary negotiations, career transitions, upskilling and more, all designed to build confidence and open doors to advancement.”

Note: this article is behind the Wilson Times paywall, so only the opening portion was available to pull from. The full piece may include additional detail.
