WITI Oregon

WITI’s annual professional clothing drive and panel event will highlight women who have "gone their own way" by starting their own business or making a non-traditional career change. The panel discussion will feature Liz Dolan, a former Nike executive who left the corporate world to create and co-host a nationally syndicated radio show on NPR. Jan Robinson, CEO of Teseda will moderate the event, while other panelists include:
• Julie Harrelson, principal of Ruby Communications
• Sharon VanSickle, senior partner and general manager of Fleishman-Hillard Portland/Seattle (formerly KVO Public Relations)
• Patti White, CEO of Inovise Medical

Event Will Also Benefit Women Re-entering the Workforce with Annual Professional Clothing Drive

On-site at the event, WITI Portland will collect “good” reusable women’s professional clothing for donation to the Yolanda House, a YWCA-supported women’s shelter, that assists women entering or re-entering the job market. All types of business attire are needed…clothing, purses, belts, jewelry, brief cases, etc. Susan Bade, director of the Yolanda House will provide a brief introduction and a clothing rack will be set up to collect donated items prior to the start of the panel discussion. Please clean out your closets to help make this year a successful clothing drive!
