  President Update

  Dear Fellow Forum Members:
  As we approach the holiday season and say good bye to 2018, I want to thank you, once again, for all you do to keep our organization vibrant and thriving. You have made us a leader in the galaxy of IWF forums with your support, active engagement, and spirit of partnership.

  As reported at our annual meeting, this has been a banner year for attracting fabulous new members from diverse sectors and backgrounds; delivering superb and fun programs, dine arounds and read arounds; expanding our communications channels (we now have 119 followers on our IWFDC Instagram account); updating our bylaws; finding creative approaches to engage with you; inviting several of our Leadership Fellows to become members and strengthening our ties with the global Fellows program. Plus, we’re doing all of this with sound, financial fitness.

  I couldn’t be more grateful to our board and committee members who have given so much of their time and talents in service to our Forum. I thank them for their commitment. In return, nothing would make them more pleased than to see you take full advantage of all the opportunities offered for connecting, learning, supporting each other and just having good ‘ole fashion fun with peers and friends.

  As we look to 2019, there are a number of exciting events and programs being planned, including embassy receptions, a get-to-know social occasion for our new members early next year and exciting gatherings with outstanding, global women leaders. We hope you come to all these special programs being prepared for you.

  So, from our board to you, may the holidays bring you continued good health, ongoing support and enthusiasm for our Forum as well as lasting joy and personal fulfillment.

  Tis the season to reflect on all the wonderful friendships gained because of our Forum.

  Happy Holidays!
