Since 2012, the Iranian American Women Foundation (IAWF) has been empowering and inspiring Iranian American women of all ages and career paths through its nationally recognized annual Women’s Leadership Conferences.
In addition to these conferences, the IAWF has also expanded its philanthropic efforts to include Rising Leadership programs, mentorship opportunities, and scholarships for young members of the community.
Our goal is to provide a platform for professional and personal growth for all IAWF members and those in our local community. We welcome anyone interested in joining us on this journey.
