Linda Gross Re-Joins Board of Directors for Designing Women Boutique

    SARASOTA, FL, November 13, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a move that returns to her roots, Linda Gross has re-joined the board of directors of Designing Women Boutique, a Sarasota non-profit consignment shop that uses its fundraising might for the benefit of local arts and human services organizations. Ms. Gross was part of the initial group of volunteers that started the organization in 2002, and she is pleased to again lend her marketing expertise to help DWB continue to grow and tackle new projects.

"Designing Women combines two of my favorite things - shopping and the community," said Ms. Gross, who is the owner of Advice Solutions advertising agency in Lakewood Ranch. "This is a wonderful group of people, and I'm excited to be working with them again. We have a full schedule planned for the coming year and are looking forward to expanding our efforts so we can maximize our local grants program."

Ms. Gross has been a part of the Sarasota business community since moving to the area in 1993. She opened Advice in 1998 and is known for her acumen in marketing and public relations, particularly in regards to real estate and development. Through the years, she has touched most area non-profits personally and through clients. Her agency, though small, has won prestigious creative awards and has worked with a broad cross-section of clients, from local start-ups to national brands with multi-million dollar budgets.

The DWB board has also welcomed two additional new members - Janet Gale Hammer and Rosenda Calloway, both of whom joined the board earlier in the year. The complete roster of the board of directors is listed below.
