About the Conference
The 2010 IWLC provides participants a unique opportunity to network with the attendees and hear the inspirational stories of world-renowned guest speakers.
The International Women's Leadership Conference (IWLC), started with the leadership of Governor Linda Lingle, was inspired by worldwide travel. Throughout her travels, Governor Lingle has met numerous inspirational women in key leadership roles all over the world. After one such meeting during a visit to Japan in 2003, Governor Lingle knew that the people of Hawai‘i deserved the same opportunity to come-together with female leaders from across the globe. A forum needed to be held to share with each other what successful women from all backgrounds, cultures, religions, and lifestyles were thinking and doing to positively impact our global community. This coming together of ideas, stories, and networking was brought to life for the first time in September 2004.
The annual International Women’s Leadership Conference is now in its seventh year. Over the past six years, the inspiring leadership from women all over the world has moved other aspiring women leaders in Hawai‘i to make their own mark on history and to leave a lasting legacy for future generations. Delegates leave feeling inspired and motivated while our speakers gain new perspectives from the Hawai‘i women they meet. The success of this conference continues to grow, making each event more exciting than the last.
