Posted on October 2, 2012 By Maria Fregoso More than 300 guests joined us on April 13th at the Pierre Hotel for the 18th annual Women Mean Business Luncheon, raising more than $170,000 for the Coalition’s First Step Job Training Program for homeless and low-income women. New York City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn presented an inspiring keynote address reminding guests of how critical the homelessness epidemic has become in NYC and underscoring the Coalition’s unique role in creating innovative and effective solutions to the problem.

We would also like to thank our corporate honoree Marsh, First Step graduate speakers Rasheedah Boyd and Marvette Allison-Harding and Diana Mejia for sharing her story in this year’s video.
