In Person: Evening Networking & Giving Event – New York City
March 10, 2026 – 5:30 PM ET
Hosted by Commerzbank, New York City
Join us for a fun and meaningful evening of networking, cocktails, and light appetizers. The evening will highlight the shared mission of Women Data Professionals and Dress for Success to support and empower women while celebrating this year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain". Enjoy a fireside chat with Linda Powell, head of Women Data Professionals Americas chapter, and Melissa Tenzer, CEO of Dress for Success New Jersey. Hear more about how Dress for Success empowers unemployed and underemployed women to achieve economic independence through professional attire, training, and development programs.
Help support the work of Dress for Success
In the spirit of the theme "Give to Gain," our goal is to raise $2,500 for Dress for Success. All funds raised will go directly to training, mentoring, and support programs for women entering or reentering the workforce.

Please know there is absolutely no obligation to participate in the fundraising; we simply wanted to share this opportunity with the community.
