Welcome IWF Korea
June 3, 2025
Please join us in welcoming IWF Korea to our global community! IWF Korea brings together an exceptional group of women leaders across sectors – from business and government to academia and the arts – united by a commitment to advancing women’s leadership in Korea and around the world.
IWF Global Board Chair Kimberly Cooper Jaqua joined new members, distinguished guests, and next-generation Korean leaders in Seoul last week to celebrate the launch. It was a powerful gathering of leaders who share vision, values, and purpose, and a wonderful opportunity to build new bridges between countries, generations, and industries.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the founding members and leaders of IWF Korea, including Founding President Kumjoo Huh. Your leadership and dedication are inspiring, and we are honored to have you as part of our global sisterhood of 8,500 leaders in 35 countries.
