Encouraging the (Female!) Entrepreneurial Spirit

Last night we happily celebrated two of our youngest sock flock members--Erica Dougherty and Alexis Champion--at a reception that honored their recent work-study experience.  This past summer, these high school seniors joined us at headquarters and spent some of their vacation hard at work. These ladies had a crash course in marketing, studied up on our branding, and lent their skills to our social media and sales divisions.  

This awesome opportunity--for both the young women and for us!--was part of the larger Summer Internship Program offered through Roland Park Country School in Baltimore, Maryland. Twenty-nine of their students participated in the program, gaining job skills, mentorship, and real world experience across a variety of fields.

We are grateful to have been a part of something designed to be enriching and empowering to young people, and we’re thrilled to have had Erica and Alexis as part of our team. Way to go, ladies!! Can’t wait to see what you do next.  :)
