The YWCA's 2012 Inspire Luncheons are underway! The first event featured the talented and charming Academy Award winner, Helen Hunt at Meydenbauer Center on March 15th. She shared very personal stories of the joy and challenges of raising a strong daughter. I still remember the luncheon I attended a couple of years ago with Gloria Steinem as the speaker. Talk about inspired.
The YWCA hosts 3 of these events each year, and the next one is scheduled for Tuesday, April 24th at the Washington State Convention Center with guest speaker Sheryl WuDunn, co-author of Half the Sky. If you have some time, watch the online video of her Ted Talk. It's an inspiring 18 minutes.
On behalf of Dress for Success and the YWCA, I encourage you to attend the event if you're so inclined, by registering to sit at the Dress for Success table. Dress for Success Seattle is a wonderful organization that helps women trying to get back on their feet and into the workforce. I've been supporting them for years through the Girls Gone Glam events and the Closet Treasures Sale. We all know how important it is to feel that you look your best and feel confident when interviewing for a job that could change your life.
