This year, Working Wardrobes is proud to launch a special campaign series spotlighting the incredible individuals recognized as part of our inaugural Suit Society class. These honorees embody the values of generosity, empowerment, and leadership—supporting our mission to help people overcome barriers and rebuild their lives with confidence.

Through this campaign, we’re taking a moment in each newsletter to shine a light on the people behind the impact. You’ll learn more about what drives their philanthropy, how they’ve contributed to Working Wardrobes over the years, and why we are thrilled to recognize them at our upcoming gala celebration.

We’re honored to introduce the first two Suit Society honorees:

Rhonda Ducote

President & CEO, Apriem Advisors

Rhonda Ducote is more than a leader in wealth management—she’s a pillar of philanthropic leadership in our community. As President & CEO of Apriem Advisors, Rhonda is known for guiding families toward financial success with care, integrity, and vision. But it’s her passion for giving back that truly sets her apart.

Rhonda has supported more than 20 nonprofit organizations in the past year alone, with Working Wardrobes holding a special place in her heart. Her belief in the dignity of work and the power of second chances aligns perfectly with our mission. Whether she’s rolling up her sleeves at a volunteer event or championing our programs to her network, Rhonda’s dedication is personal, hands-on, and deeply impactful.

Mark Pomerantz

Founder, Mark Pomerantz Menswear by Appointment

A true artisan of men’s fashion, Mark Pomerantz has built his career around the art of personal expression through bespoke tailoring. With a client list that includes discerning professionals across the globe, Mark has cultivated a one-of-a-kind menswear experience that is as refined as it is deeply personal.

Beyond his work in luxury fashion, Mark is a dedicated supporter of Working Wardrobes. He has partnered with us on multiple clothing donation drives—including the enhanced “Suit Up for a Cause” campaign during the pandemic—and is a regular contributor to our annual gala, generously donating exclusive auction items that elevate the experience and help drive fundraising success. Mark understands the confidence and opportunity a well-fitted suit can bring, and continues to use his craft to empower others with dignity and style.
