The Importance of the Retail Industry

Retail supports 1 in 4 American jobs

Besides babysitting, my first jobs were primarily in retail. I remember thinking that retail was a 'means to an end' for my career - a temporary job while I worked my way through college. 

Years later, I have the privilege to call the National Retail Federation Foundation one of my clients. Through my work with them, I have become more aware of, not only how many jobs exist in retail but, just how much opportunity there is to create a strong long-term career in the industry. 

The NRF Foundation shapes retail’s future by building awareness of the industry through statistics and stories; developing talent through education, experiences and scholarships; and fostering career growth among people who work in retail. - See more at: https://nrf.com/who-we-are/nrf-foundation#sthash.KfTJn1Tc.dpuf

I am excited to be working with their team on their inaugural gala. I encourage you to check out the work they are doing.
