Women At Work is happy to announce the appointment of Janet Pope Givens as Assistant Director of the Pasadena-based agency. Women At Work is the only non-governmental, bilingual career and job resource center serving Los Angeles County. Working with Executive Director Robin McCarthy, Givens is responsible for managing day-to-day operations, exploring options for new client programs, increasing awareness through marketing, media relations and online presence.

Givens retired in 2011 after a 26-year career with the City of Pasadena where she served as public information officer for the Pasadena Police Department and adjutant to the chief of police. She also managed special assignments in the City Manager’s Office as assistant director of Northwest Programs and special assistant to the city manager. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

“Janet brings a broad range of experience to Women At Work and is well-known in the greater Pasadena community,” said McCarthy. “In past years she has served on our board of directors and has been a client, bringing to the position a broad background on employment and community work. I am confident that her knowledge and capabilities will help lead Women at Work into the future.”

Givens has received honors and recognitions from United Way, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, 5 Acres Boys’ and Girls’ Aid Society, San Gabriel Valley Boy Scouts, Alkebu-lan Cultural Center, National Council of Negro Women and several other organizations. She lives in Altadena with her husband Jerry Givens and between them they have six children and eight grandchildren.

For more than 30 years Women At Work has provided career counseling, workshops, support groups and other services to women who are unemployed or in career transition. In recent years, with the economic downturn, Women At Work has broadened its mission to provide services to men as well. The new Training at Work program is tailored to the needs of employers and includes instruction in business software, social media, business communications, customer service, leadership and time management.
