Catalyzing the future of women’s leadership

Unlocking the potential of the next generation of women leaders

Women consistently face three key barriers that restrict their potential:

  • Limited access to business networks
  • Inadequate leadership training
  • Lack of mentors

IWF directly tackles these barriers through our Leadership Fellows Program and Leadership Intensives.
