Established in 1998 by a dedicated group of accomplished local women, the International Women’s Forum Singapore is a beacon of empowerment, leadership, and community. Sharing the vision and values of our global sisters, we are proud to be part of the International Women’s Forum, founded in 1974 in the United States.
Few forums exist by and for women leaders, and fewer still intimately understand the challenges faced. Born out of a necessity for women to support each other professionally and personally, IWF provides a women’s network to aid each member’s success and to inspire the women who follow. The International Women’s Forum has flourished across six continents, encompassing 76 Forums in 33 countries, with a network of more than 8,000 preeminent women leaders. IWF is the only organisation of this scale that builds significant relationships between C-level women across countries and careers.
A future where women leaders drive meaningful change, breaking barriers and shaping a more equitable world for generations to come.
We unite our global community of women leaders to advance women’s leadership today and tomorrow.
Women supporting women is just as vital today as when IWF was founded. The challenges remain, and backsliding happens all too frequently. Women remain underrepresented in the C-suite; on corporate boards; and at the top of academia, the creative arts and the law, finance, science, technology, media and health sectors.
Nurturing the next generation of women leaders with financial aid for tertiary education
Networking opportunities and cutting-edge content essential to global leaders in a changing world.
Showing the world what women leaders can do and inspire the journey of others.
The International Women’s Forum is a network of the most accomplished women in the world. With over 8,000 women leaders worldwide, we believe that leadership has no gender and that our diversity is our strength. We believe that the potential for women is unlimited and that opportunities should be as well. We celebrate each other’s successes. We revere those on whose shoulders we stand and champion those who come later.
Together we envision a world where there is equal opportunity and representation for women at every level of leadership.
Our local Forum leadership guides our mission of advancing women’s leadership.
Membership is invitation-only. Women of achievement and influence may be nominated by members of the IWF Singapore local Forum.
