IWF Dine Around

The Dine Around sessions are small-group gatherings hosted by IWF members, designed to encourage meaningful connections and open discussions across a wide range of topics in a relaxed and engaging setting.

Annabel Pennefather Excellence Awards Night – Chong Yoke Sin and Laura Hwang

The Annabel Pennefather Excellence Awards Night is a meaningful initiative established by the International Women’s Forum (IWF) to honour the legacy of the late Annabel Pennefather, Singapore’s iconic figure in hockey. This annual award celebrates the spirit of excellence, resilience, and leadership embodied by Annabel, and aims to inspire the next generation of young women. Each year, two outstanding female student-athletes from the Singapore Sports School are selected as award recipients. These aspiring young women are recognised not only for their athletic achievements, but also for their character, determination, and potential to make a lasting impact in their respective fields. Beyond recognition, the Awards Night reflects IWF’s broader commitment to supporting the education and development of young women. As strong advocates for empowering future female leaders, IWF members actively provide scholarships to students in institutions of higher learning—particularly those who require financial assistance to pursue their ambitions. In partnership with the Young Women’s Leadership Connection (YWLC), IWF also offers mentorship and career guidance to scholarship recipients, helping them navigate their personal and professional journeys with confidence. Funds for the IWF EduGrant scholarships are raised through a combination of events, fundraising dinners, and the generous support of members and friends. The Awards Night stands as both a celebration of achievement and a testament to the collective effort in nurturing the potential of young women.

Prize Presentation 2024​

On 2 November 2024, we hosted the annual EDUGRANT Award Ceremony, bringing together inspiring individuals in celebration of education and mentorship. The event began with an intimate sharing session by Tan Su Shan, incoming CEO of DBS Bank, where attendees gained invaluable insights and advice.   Beyond honoring the awardees, YWLC introduced their mentorship program, encouraging young women to take part in this meaningful initiative. It was truly heartening to see the award winners engaging with our fellow IWF members, exchanging stories and aspirations.   Looking forward to the Edugrant Ceremony 2025!
