A Brief History of Dress for Success
The Indianapolis affiliate was chartered in May 1999 under the leadership of founding Executive Director, Talene Shuck. The organization has grown remarkably since its inception, with six full-time and two part-time employees overseeing daily operations. Volunteers continue to play a crucial role in the success of the organization. In 2018 alone, over 400 volunteers contributed an estimated 3,940 hours.
Local Impact, Global Network
Dress for Success Indianapolis is part of a global network with more than 143 affiliates in 23 countries.
