Building Dream Paths to Thriving: Our New Strategic Plan 


Dress for Success Cincinnati is excited to introduce our latest strategic plan implementation, "Following Dream Paths to Thriving." Spearheaded by Megan Zarnitz, our VP of Programs and Strategic Initiatives, and Tierra Adabla, our new Thriving Services Manager, this plan is a culmination of our commitment to deepen relationships and impact in the lives of the women we serve. 


At the core of this initiative is our recognition of the diverse factors that contribute to women's overall well-being and success. In this new strategic plan, we are emphasizing the importance of embracing a holistic approach, continuing to focus on women’s career goals, but also empowering women to thrive in every aspect of their lives. The goal is that by growing deeper in relationships with the women we serve we will hold space for and provide coaching that inspires and encourages women to create and follow individualized dream paths toward thriving and self-sufficiency.
