Check out our blog to hear from Kim Graham Lee,  Interim CEO of  IWL Foundation, on what IWL means to her.



My involvement with IWL Foundation (IWLF) is a gift that keeps on giving. I never could have imagined the IMPACT that my involvement in this organization would have on my life when I first met its founder, Jennifer Browning Holmes. A scheduled 1-hour networking meeting with her at Paradise Bakery in November of 2010 turned into a 3-hour discussion and the beginning of an exciting growth journey for me. Read more.

We want you to find inspiration from the speakers and sessions, and more importantly, do something with it. 

This is a day you can make all your own. You will leave with a sense of empowerment and practical lessons learned, so that you can take steps forward to go From Inspiration to Impact.

Nominate someone for the 2017 
Christi Anderson Personal Innovation Award
 



Last year at our conference we continued The Christi Anderson Personal Innovation Award - a scholarship in honor of Christi Anderson, an IWL Board Member who left us too soon. Christi was passionate about helping other women in leadership and we honor Christi by awarding this scholarship every year to a woman who is looking to innovate herself, to be better and do better - just like Christi did, and who could benefit from the financial assistance to do so. What better way to honor a life than to affect change in another's?

If you know of someone you believe would benefit from this $2,500 scholarship and is someone of character with the same motivation of helping others and pursuing her dreams, please nominate them usin this nomination form.

We will be taking nominations now through July 14, 2017. The Christi Anderson Personal Innovation Award winner will be invited to attend our IWL Women's Leadership Conference on August 31, 2017 at the JW Marriott and will be recognized on stage. For more information about the award, please visit our  website. Also  hear from our 2016 Award Winner, Tia Jackson, about what this scholarship means to her.


Our theme for June is Choose Positivity! The sun is shining, people are smiling, and summer fun has begun. Don't let the little things get you down. Each day  you have the choice to focus on either the good or the not so good - so why not choose happiness? This month we challenge you to write down good things that happen each day, no matter how small, somewhere that you can look back at them. By your bed, in your planner, on your desk - wherever works for you. Reflecting on all of the positive things will give a sense of renewed perspective and energy. Let's embrace June with a smile and a promise to be positive!
