Hello and Happy November,
November is the month of gratitude and in today’s crazy world we can still find much to be grateful for.
I am grateful for our Trusteeship sisters and all of the lovely times we share with each other.
This past month we were able to share a wonderful event at the Huntington Library. Thank you to Huntington Library President, Karen Lawrence, Lisa See, and Nikki Clay for the amazing tour and exclusive behind the scenes preview of Shôya house.

Thanks to Karen Caplan for arranging and Kathy Checchi for hosting us.

Similar to past years, the dues renewal process will take place online. Click on the “Pay Dues” link below to renew and pay by credit card (no checks, please, as we’ve gone paperless).

Barbara released: the official art catalogue Contradictions – Bringing The Past Forward: An Art & Humanities Installation by Barbara Gothard.
Barbara’s three-year creative odyssey culminated in a solo exhibition of her installation, Contradictions – Bringing The Past Forward, that visually interprets and honors the legacy of twenty-three African American Homesteaders who settled in the Far Eastern Mojave Desert in the early twentieth century, in the context of my own lived experience as an African American woman artist in the Palm Springs/Mojave Desert area. And the catalogue is the last phase of this journey.

At the World Leadership Conference and Gala, May 15-17, 2024 in New York, NY, IWF will highlight 50 years of women changing the world. Registration to open soon.
Over five decades, the International Women’s Forum and our members have been at the forefront of change – breaking the glass ceiling across professions around the world, proving not only that women lead but women lead differently, and gender balance at every level of leadership makes stronger business, stronger societies, and a better world.
In recent years the velocity of change, especially driven by technology, has impacted every country and every sector. It’s only fitting that our 50th Anniversary Conference address change and how women at the top are making change a force for good.
This conference will focus on key sectors that—like IWF—have strong roots in New York but are global forces for change themselves. . .
It will also examine how more women at the top are managing change in the workplace and the social agenda for gender equality.
Finally, we will explore the business of fashion – how we have evolved from men telling women what to wear to women changing what we buy, how we buy and how we express our beliefs about ourselves and our world in how we present ourselves.
