The organization’s board of directors announced Monday that Stevenson, who has more than 20 years of business, governance and policy development experience in the nonprofit space, is its new executive director.
“My past roles and experiences have played a major role in shaping my values and instilling in me a desire to serve and provide opportunities for others to advance,” Stevenson said in a press release. “I look forward to devoting my passion for community, relationship and capacity building to help Dress for Success expand its reach and influence throughout the Okanagan.”
Dress for Success Kelowna is only two years old, but it has already helped more than 150 women gain economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attitude and development tools to help them thrive in work and life.
