EWM LAUNCHED PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WOMEN'S ALLIANCE
The Historic Dorsey House, Home of Chapter 2
Esslinger-Wooten-Maxwell (EWM) Realtors, one of the largest residential real estate firms in the U.S.,kicked off their partnership with The Women's Alliance-an organization that provides professional attire, career skills training, and related services to low-income women and men seeking employment-with a beauty makeover event at its Aventura office, located at 2750 NE 185 Street (Miami Gardens Drive).
Three EWM Realtors volunteered to be the models for the makeover demonstrations, which were coordinated by Patrice Bisiot from Patrice Bisiot Hair Salon in Turnberry; Nancy Rand, a renowned make-up artist who also has her own line of cosmetics, Touch cosmetics, Danielle Lisa Klein, an image and wardrobe consultant who has worked for such designers as Giorgio Armani and Calvin Klein. The experts also answered questions and provided consultations.
The community was invited to bring any slightly worn wardrobe items that they wished to donate. Tax deduction forms were available.
"We are proud to partner with an organization that makes such a positive impact on the community," says Randi Rapp, manager of EWM's Aventura office. "In the past year alone, 50,000 women in transition nationwide were assisted by The Women's Alliance to overcome significant employment barriers. Among these barriers is the cost of ‘making a good appearance' so that they can make the right impression on job interviews and in the workplace."
EWM's Aventura office will continue to serve as a drop-off site for slightly used clothing to be donated to Chapter 2, the Alliance's upscale retail store at The Dorsey House in Overtown. Sales from the Chapter 2 consignment shop help fund programs for women and men in transition back into the work force.
