Working women conf. set in Flushing Free event offers job search, panels, workshops and fashion show by Liz Rhoades Managing Editor
If you’re an unemployed female looking for work, run don’t walk to the 24th annual World of Working Women Conference to be held Friday, Nov. 11 in Flushing. The free event, sponsored by the Center for the Women of New York, will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel at 135-20 39 Ave. Participants are asked to bring their resumes. Panel discussions will run from 10:15 a.m. to noon, followed by a career fair until 3 p.m. The workshops will be held from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. Charles Gilmore of the Queens Public Library will lead a workshop on how to make a lasting impression with a resume. Darinka Maldonado of the Queens Women’s Business Center will discuss starting a business, while Anna Tringle of Ameriprise Financial will talk about being smart about finances and freeing oneself from debt. A workshop on starting a job search and getting back into the workforce will be led by Eric Shtob from the Consortium for Worker Education, and Lee Bowe of America Works. Victoria Pilotti, an education training
specialist with the Department of Education’s High School Division, will lead a workshop on “Women in Transition.” There will also be CWNY resource tables to give advice and support. The keynote speaker is Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (D-East Elmhurst), who was elected in 2009 and focuses on the rights of victims of sexual and domestic violence. Also participating in the day’s program is Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village), who will take part in a panel discussion. Another panelist is Delyanne Barros, an attorney with a firm that specializes in issues of sexual discrimination. At 3 p.m. there will be a Dress for Success fashion show, followed by a drawing for raffles and door prizes. The CWNY was founded in 1987 as a one-stop resource center for women. It is headquartered at Queens Borough Hall in Kew Gardens, where classes and support groups are held. The organization hopes to move to a permanent facility at Fort Totten in Bayside following extensive renovation to an historic building. For information, go to Q cwny.org.
