WOMEN IMPROVING CONSTRUCTION AND THE INDUSTRY
In 1990 Jerri Rosen, then President of J.L. Rosen & Company, and five friends found themselves disturbed by the growing statistics of domestic violence. The group set out on a mission to help. With the intention of hosting a onetime only event, they held the first ever “Day of Self-EsteemTM,” which served 67 women from six shelters. The event became the launching pad for Working Wardrobes. In 1995 the organization received official nonprofit status and in 2000 Jerri was hired on as the Executive Director. Today, Jerri is the CEO and Founder of Working Wardrobes, a nonprofit organization that helps 5,000 men, women, veterans and young adults in crises re-enter the workforce each year.
For her ongoing dedication to the community, Jerri has been recognized by civic leaders, government and organizations at the national, state and community levels. As the host of the award-winning cable TV show about Working Wardrobes, Jerri continues to leverage her expertise in advertising, sales and marketing, and public relations. She is an effective and entertaining presenter and she speaks with many corporate and community groups in her ongoing effort to bring additional awareness of the Working Wardrobes mission to even more people.
