Town Hall Meeting


When: 6/23/2026 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Where: Virtual Meeting - Meeting link is provided after registering.

Join IWF Louisiana leadership for an engaging and collaborative Virtual Town Hall as we come together to shape the next era of our Forum's growth and impact.

This special gathering marks the beginning of our strategic planning process and a time for reflection, renewal, and reimagining what's possible when women lead with courage, conviction, and purpose.

During this session, leadership will share a vision for the future of IWF Louisiana and invite open dialogue around the topics that matter most to our members what you value, what you want more of, and how we can deepen engagement across our Forum. Every voice is important as we chart the path forward together.

Members are encouraged to bring ideas and questions as we explore opportunities to get involved through committees, short-term task forces, and the Strategic Planning Committee guiding this important work.

Together, we will build on our strong foundation and create a bold, inclusive, and forward-thinking Forum that supports and elevates women leaders across Louisiana and beyond.
