I’m excited to see the local beauty industry come together to create such amazing synergy."We are thrilled to be working with The Career Wardrobe and other regional partners like Marc Voci who are dedicated to improving the lives of women. The Omni Hotel at Independence Park is committed to being a caring partner in the community. We look forward to great success and to making this an annual project," Chris Laufer, Director of Sales and Marketing.
