Charity:
Do you have new or gently used business clothes that don’t bring you joy? Please bring them to the conference and donate them! TWHE representatives will have collection bins at the registration desk where you can drop your donations.
We intend to continue this tradition at future conferences, and each year, we will select a local organization or two for clothing distribution. In this inaugural year, we have selected the Center for Transforming Lives in Ft. Worth.
Come to the lunch session on Monday to hear directly from Carol Klocek, CEO of the Center for Transforming Lives, on the impact your donations can have on their clients’ well-being.
