IWF HALL OF FAME

 

Proud Sponsors of the International Hall of Fame, IWF has celebrated through the years, the inductions of the world’s leading female pioneers.

Each year the International Women’s Forum celebrates the enduring contributions of the world’s top women leaders who are building better tomorrows, setting precedents by their work and example. Over the years, the International Women’s Forum has been privileged to induct into the International Hall of Fame 80 women luminaries.

The International Hall of Fame provides a global stage with which to honor and celebrate the leaders of nations, industry, enterprise, academe, the media, the arts and science. We salute our honorees and believe in the importance of valuing women’s contributions especially in promoting their efforts to build the kind of world that some never thought possible.
