Meet Barbara Madsen Smith, president of Bottomless Closet NYC, a vibrant nonprofit group that helps poor women in New York dress for success. Barbara Madsen Smith has been involved in strategic planning at Bottomless Closets since 1999. The non-profit group has helped thousands of poor, out-of-work women get back into the swing of things — outfitting them with everything from shoes and dresses, teaching them interview techniques and giving them a renewed sense of confidence that every woman needs to face life’s hurdles.
