Sisters U brings women together to impact community
The speakers discuss ways that women can nurture a positive self-image, both inside and out. Megan Kristel, president of Kristel Closets, encouraged women to give themselves permission to cultivate their physical beauty, while Steve Brown of Looking Glass Photography and Heather McCloskey of McCloskey Partners, LLC coached members on ways to reject negative thoughts and self-sabotaging behavior.
Sisters U members have already started acting on that longing, supporting a number of local nonprofit organizations and charitable causes since February.
“I think I cried on the way home, it was that powerful,” said Sisters U administrator and Perkasie resident Stef McKeever. “You don’t realize the things you take for granted.”
The members bartended at Creekside Inn in Chalfont to raise over $1,000 for Keystone Opportunity Center and A Woman’s Place. They have run a number of 5K races together to support various causes, including the Germantown Friends School and Spirit of Hope International Ministries.
Sisters U seeks to connect women with the education and resources necessary to make the most of their passions and gifts.

Kane Partners Chooses McCloskey Partners as Human Resource Expert Source for NBC 10 Event
Silverdale, Pennsylvania – Heather McCloskey of McCloskey Partners (www.mccloskeypartners.com) is an expert source of human resource information as heralded by Kane Partners to support their presentation for "Rev Up Your Resume" with Tracy Davidson of NBC’s local 10 station. Heather assisted Kane Partners at the “Rev Up Your Resume” with Tracy Davidson event on October 8 regarding job coaching candidates and providing insight on how to orchestrate their resumes. McCloskey has been invited back again to aid Kane Partners with an Encore “Rev Up Your Resume” with Tracy Davidson NBC10 event on November 12.
As the rate of employment and America’s recession remain intriguing topics with viewers, Kane Partners seeks to provide timely and appropriate content. Due to knowledge within the field of human resources and experience, Heather McCloskey, president of McCloskey Partners, was approached by Kane Partners to serve as a subject matter expert. "In preparing for the “Rev Up Your Resume” presentation for NBC10 viewers we were looking for the best subject matter experts to answer resume questions in a one-on-one setting. I was very happy to hear that Heather McCloskey of McCloskey Partners and her team were available without hesitation to help our efforts in educating job seekers on the best way to “Rev Up Your Resume.” We were so impressed with McCloskey Partners involvement that we invited them back for our November 12 event” stated Kristin Kane of Kane Partners.
Heather attended the early-October event with another colleague from McCloskey Partners, Denise Hackendahl. “Denise serves McCloskey Partners as the lead human resources consultant,” adds McCloskey. “Our team of subject matter experts addressed topics of career coaching, resume writing, and personal branding in order to help job seekers attain positions at all desired levels. Through our personalized, one-on-one sessions, job seekers increased their ability to become prime candidates and climb to the top echelon of nominees, separating them from the larger mass of others seeking the same position.”
The human resource insight of McCloskey Partners as supplied by McCloskey and Hackendahl is to take shape on the Encore “Rev Up Your Resume” with Tracy Davidson edition scheduled for November 12, 2009.
The McCloskey Partners Team is comprised of human resource professionals that have very diverse backgrounds and whose experience spans across many different industries and states. Our mission is to partner with our clients and assist them in making major employment related decisions as well as to provide options and recommendations that are cost effective and that minimize liability risks.
October 18, 2009:
The Philadelphia Small Business Examiner asked: What advice could you provide a small business in regards to hiring an in-house Human Resources representative vs. outsourcing to an outside service provider?
McCloskey Partners LLC: We are asked this
question often. When determining the need to
bring someone in house or outsource HR- the
first place for a Company to do their due
diligence process is to determine if their
needs are full time or part time. Often
times we find that companies will hire
someone full time and be forced to pay a
full time salary plus offer full time
benefits when their need is really part
time. Going with an outsourcing relationship
allows an employer to only pay for services
when they are used.
