Dear Friends, Distinguished Leaders of Our Society,
We are here in this platform together to strengthen women’s leadership.
IWF Turkey is a young organization in the deeply rooted women history of Turkey, we are yet only 5 years old and 27 members may seem somewhat few. But, we have two great values that carry us far beyond these, creating a multiplier effect on what we have.
Firstly, IWF Turkey is a local extension of a very special women’s organizations established in 1974 in New York. Globally, we are moving towards the same goal with more than 7000 women leaders from 33 countries.
Secondly, we are the child of Anatolia, the land that has shaped the history of mankind with its thousands of years of history and took its name from the mother or women.
In fact, we are not only so rooted but also so many.
Dear Friends, Distinguished Leaders of Our Society,
IWF Turkey, since its established in 2014 in our every meeting, in all our work, perseverance, determination and achievements were predominantly prevailing when the women leaders who had made great contributions in their respective fields came together. Acquaintances and friendships were developed, and knowledge and experience exchange were conveyed beyond these meetings. Relationship networks were replicated by sharing. Exemplary success stories were described in detail. All these serve to strengthen women’s leadership by expanding geographical and cultural barriers. Moreover, these developments need not be limited to our borders. They can easily transcend the borders and spreads to the region and even the whole world. Beneath all these developments, we have the signature of our esteemed female leaders of IWF.
Thank you for being here.
The period in front of us even excites us even more. Thanks to the new women leaders who participated in year after year in IWF Turkey, we are growing even stronger. At our platform with our new projects, we will make female leadership in our country stronger.
We shall do it all together again.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Gulden Turktan
