International Women's Forum of Idaho

The International Women’s Forum advances women’s leadership locally and globally by uniting trailblazing women of significance and achievement. The Idaho chapter forges connections among pre-eminent women across the state to share solutions and drive conversation.

The International Women’s Forum is an invitation only organization of more than 8,000 diverse and accomplished women from 33 nations on six continents. IWF’s mission is to support the women leaders of today and tomorrow. We build better leadership across careers, continents and cultures by connecting accomplished women both locally and globally.

The Idaho IWF Forum was formed in 2013 by a group of Wood River Valley residents who were members of the Washington D.C., New York, and California IWF Forums. They recruited 23 women leaders such as elected officials, executives in Idaho non-profits, academia, athletics and businesses because they believed that outstanding women leaders in Idaho would also benefit from the exchange of ideas, learning opportunities and inspiration from coming together in Idaho, as well as nationally and globally. The idea resonated, and, in 2024, we number 66 members.
