Power Networking Event at Midtown
Loft and Terrace in
New York City on Wednesday, October 26th, 2016,
featuring keynote speaker Jean
Shafiroff. Prominent Philanthropist and Author, Jean
Shafiroff, engaged the audience in a discussion of
philanthropy and her debut book, Successful
Philanthropy: How to Make a Life by What You Give
a guide to modern philanthropy.
The exclusive
2-hour philanthropy themed networking event, inspired by
'The Power of One' panel, was hosted by Star
Jones, and is part of an interview series featuring
professional women who power their passions into meaningful
success. An exclusive Q&A took place with Philanthropist,
Author and Socialite Jean
Shafiroff who
told the audience what inspired her to get involved with
charities and how those interested in volunteering can use
the tools described in Shafiroff?s book
to ensure they donate their time to a good charity that they
can connect with. Shafiroff's heartfelt
speech inspired discussions among event participants, who
were also given the chance to purchase a signed copy of Shafiroff's book.
Successful
Philanthropy: How to Make a Life by What You Give was
written by Jean
Shafiroff and
published by Hatherleigh
Press, Ltd. in 2016, and serves as a practical guide for
both the aspiring and seasoned philanthropist. It features
an introduction from Georgina
Bloomberg, the daughter of former New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg, and includes a foreword by Scott
Elkins, US Campaign Director of the Margaret Thatcher
Scholarship Trust at Oxford University and CEO of SE
Advisors, who salutes author Jean
Shafiroff for
encouraging others to 'help bring about change,' through the
text and her philanthropic initiatives in any way possible.
A volunteer
fundraiser, leader and spokesperson for several charitable
causes, the spectrum of Shafiroff' s
philanthropic work includes improving the lives of
underserved populations, women?s rights and well-being,
health care, animal welfare and resources for children in
need, in addition to other causes. Jean serves on the boards

Foundation, French Heritage Society, Couture Council (Museum
of the Fashion Institute of Technology), Jewish Board of
Family and Children's Services (20+ years), Southampton

Club?s Charitable Foundation. Each year she chairs numerous

organizations. The NAPW

attendees the unique opportunity to learn from Shafiroff herself
how they can incorporate charitable work into their everyday
lives.
