Dallas Mavericks’ Chief Marketing Officer Iris Diaz will participate in NFM’s “Women Who Lead the Way” panel on March 26 (1 p.m.) at Grandscape, a new outdoor lifestyle center in The Colony, TX. Joining Ms. Diaz will be NFM’s Chief Merchandising Officer, Nora Gomez, along with other prominent women beyond the bedding and furniture industries. The panel event is free to the public with an option to purchase a VIP ticket. BEDGEAR’s Leslie Clay, Vice President of Marketing & Sales (North America), also will be in attendance at the panel event.
“It is a genuine honor for BEDGEAR and our partner the Dallas Mavericks to participate in NFM’s Women’s Month celebrations,” said Shana Rocheleau, BEDGEAR’s Executive Vice President of Strategy who spearheads the brand’s Love 360 approach to help retailers to meet and exceed their overall sales growth. Love 360 is designed so that each retail partner is fully immersed in marketing, in-store experience, merchandising and education. “For young women who want to become leaders in any industry, it’s important to take advantage of every networking opportunity, find a mentor and don’t be afraid to ask – from asking someone to be your mentor to asking for a promotion.”
NFM’s Women’s Month celebrations have their origins with its founder, Rose Blumkin, aka Mrs. B. In 1937, Mrs. B had a revolutionary idea: sell cheap and tell the truth. Eighty-five years later, that’s still the guiding principle behind everything NFM does. As NFM celebrates Women’s History Month, it wants to celebrate the impact Mrs. B had on the business and the world with events that recognize all the inspiring things women choose to “B” every day.
Women’s History Month is an annual declared month that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. It is celebrated during March in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.
