Last but not least, Dress for Success Vancouver Executive Director and Chair of the Dress for Success Canada Foundation, Amy Robichaud will make an appearance.
“The Success Luncheon is an exciting opportunity to bring together corporate and individual champions and feature the work of our staff and volunteers while celebrating the women we have empowered into financial independence,” says Robichaud.
The theme of the luncheon this year is ‘Uplift.’
“After the setbacks and strife that we and our clients have persevered through over the last 18 months, the ‘Uplift’ theme feels perfect. We are coming together, virtually and in person, to make possible our continued support of resilient women who lift us up and allow us to lift others. On Nov 3, we celebrate our community,” she said.
Additionally, for the first time ever, the event will feature a Boutique Market shopping experience featuring jewelry, luxury fashion, home goods and gifts.
The guests will also be invited to try their luck with the wall of wine, take an updated headshot, and purchase raffle tickets.
