The Lisle CVB is partnering with Poised For Success and holding a woman’s business clothing drive to help promote economic self-sufficiency in women. This initiative is a collection of suits and other professional attire to help disadvantaged women make a first impression at interviews and land jobs that change their lives. Poised For Success serves women in Chicago and the western suburbs including Lisle.
“It may seem obvious but the right set of clothes can make or break a job interview,” says Lisle CVB Executive Director Diane Homolka. “However, many disadvantaged women just don’t have the means to go out and buy business clothes when they are unemployed. That’s why initiatives like Poised for Success are so important.”
The clothing drive began October 1, 2014, and donations can be dropped off through December 31, 2014. A designated collection box will be at the CVB’s office location - Lisle Village Hall lobby, 925 Burlington Avenue, Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
For more information, contact Katie Palombit, Lisle CVB Bureau Services Coordinator 630-769-1000 or email palombit@stayinlisle.com.
