The International Women’s Forum (IWF) voted Ann M. Drake onto its 2024-2026 Board of Directors at the organization’s 50th Anniversary Cornerstone Conference this November in Hong Kong.
 
IWF’s mission is to advance women’s leadership today and tomorrow by fostering individual success and inspiring other women. With 76 forums operating in 33 nations around the world, the IWF connects more than 8,000 preeminent women leaders across countries and careers. The organization focuses on three key initiative streams that foster alliances, promote mentorship, and support continual learning at the highest level.
 
Drake is one of six new directors at IWF. She joins a 19-member board with members and directors from around the world — South Africa, Jordan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Australia, Chile, the U.S., and more.
 
“It’s a great honor and tremendously exciting to be part of this board committed to advancing women’s leadership,” said Drake. “This is a challenging time for women everywhere. IWF is about women changing the world through our leadership. I look forward to helping make that happen — and making the world a better place for everyone as we do.”
