About International Women’s Forum

The IWF Mission

The International Women’s Forum builds better global leadership across careers, continents and cultures by connecting the world’s most preeminent women of significant and diverse achievement.

Who THEY Are

The International Women’s Forum is a unique organization comprised of more than 7,000 dynamic women leaders in thirty-five countries and seventy-six forums around the world. IWF members span careers, cultures and continents, and they are wholly aligned in their commitment to building better global leadership. Membership in the IWF is by invitation.

The heart of IWF is vibrantly represented at global meetings held annually. There is no other organization in the world that continually convenes such an extraordinary network of women leaders, provides exposure and access to such a broad and diverse audience of female decision-makers, while delivering cutting edge programs that explore topics impacting international progress, business, economics, ecology and enterprise.
The IWF Georgia chapter was among the first to be founded in 1988 by Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter and other distinguished women including Amanda Brown-Olmstead, Rosalynn Carter, Wicke Chambers, Christine King Farris, Shirley Franklin, Coretta Scott King, Liane Levetan, Alice Parsons, Judith Sans, Ruth Schmidt, Leah Ward Sears, Betty Siegel, Dayle (Powell) Spencer, Cathy Steinberg, and Betty Tallmadge.

What THEY Do

The IWF brings together an unprecedented global membership to exchange ideas, to learn, inspire, and to build better leadership for a changing world. This vision is realized through global conferences, training and mentoring programs and our networks of global forums. IWF provides one-of–a-kind programming designed by world leaders, for world leaders, both present and future. IWF provides a platform for leaders to meet among their peers in an environment where meaningful partnerships and friendships can foster.
