Professional Women Helping Women

Corporate Guild

Founded in 2002 with 17 companies, the Corporate Guild was established to create unique networking opportunities for Houston-area female professionals while simultaneously drawing support for the mission of Dress for Success Houston. In 2025, the Corporate Guild comprised 71 companies supporting DFS Houston and contributed 26% of the total donations received.

The Corporate Guild is a networking association of women helping women, supporting and promoting each other as professionals. In addition to attending the seven annual networking events and meetings, members share their expertise with our clients by volunteering as speakers and mentors. The Steering Committee representatives attend quarterly lunch meetings, and companies receive tickets to each of our three networking events.
