Forty girls from Miami Northwestern High School and Booker T. Washington High School who are part of The Women of Tomorrow Mentoring and Scholarship Program recently visited the Miami-Dade County Commission at the Steven P. Clark Government Center in downtown Miami to see firsthand what it takes to be successful professionally. The group was introduced to the Miami-Dade County Commission at its May 19 meeting, and Women of Tomorrow founder Jennifer Valoppi received a proclamation from Commissioner Barbara Carey-Schuler for the program's dedication to helping underprivileged youth in South Florida improve their chances of professional success through mentoring and education. The presentation was followed by breakfast, a tour and panel discussions. For more information on Women of Tomorrow, call 305-538-6900 or visit www.womenoftomorrow.org.
