The International Women’s Forum is an invitation-only, membership organization comprised of more than 8,000 diverse and accomplished women from 33 nations on six continents. Our mission is to unite our global community of women leaders to advance women's leadership today and tomorrow. IWF’s mission is to support the women leaders of today and tomorrow. We build better leadership across careers, continents and cultures by connecting accomplished women both locally and globally. Members include Fortune 500 executives, government leaders from the local to sovereign level, international nonprofit leaders, and luminaries from the academy, arts, and sciences. Each year, IWF hosts two international conferences that bring together these thought leaders to examine critical issues of the day within a local context and through a women’s lens. The Leadership Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation), established in 1990, is a supporting organization of IWF and the mechanism by which IWF members advance the next generation of women leaders. The Foundation seeks to increase the number of women in the C-Suite and positions of influence globally and fulfills this mission through two central programs – the Fellows Program and the Women Athletes Business Network (WABN) Program. IWF and the Foundation also provide intensive leadership training programs for women at every stage of professional development through its IWF Intensives Program.
