Location: Beautifully EmpowHERed

Join the WiT Chicago Chapter and Beautifully EmpowHERed on Thursday, August 20 for an evening of networking, mentorship and professional development as we celebrate National Women's Equality Day. This gathering brings women together at every stage of their journey, career, personal growth, and everything in between, to connect, learn and lift each other up.

The event begins with relaxed networking over light appetizers and drinks, followed by remarks on advancing equity in the workplace and the importance of women supporting women at every stage of their careers. Throughout the evening, there will be opportunities for meaningful connections and purposeful networking. Participants may also sign up to have their resumes reviewed and receive personalized feedback.

We invite you to bring gently used business casual or professional attire to donate to The Shop at BE, a community closet that provides affordable access to quality clothing for women re-entering the workforce, transitioning careers or preparing for a big opportunity. Every piece you pass on helps another woman show up with confidence.
