The Women’s Executive Forum has typically been held in March, to coincide with International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month. Although previous events have been held throughout the week, this year’s event is scheduled on a Friday to allow attendees to dedicate their full concentration on thought leadership and networking and to expand their network of leaders throughout the industry.

The Women’s Executive Forum is designed for women leaders within the association industry and related partner organizations. Association Forum believes that leadership can be demonstrated at all levels and is not exclusively reserved for those with the most senior job title in an organization.

Association Forum is committed to a Welcoming Environment® and ensuring that all attendees are supported in having a positive experience. Please contact us at 312-924-7000 or education@associationforum.org so we can make any arrangements necessary.
