The International Women’s Forum of Washington, DC (IWF-DC) brings together some of the most accomplished women in America’s capital city. Founded in 1982, IWF-DC is an affiliate of the International Women’s Forum—the only organization of its kind in the world today representing 7,000 women leaders in diverse fields whose mission is to further dynamic leadership, leverage global access to and maximize opportunities for women in 33 countries on six continents. Members of IWF-DC helped initiate several programs at the International Forum level, including the International Hall of Fame (1987) and the Leadership Foundation Fellows Program (1993).
