International Women's Forum of Massachusetts

Today and every day, we celebrate Women's Equality! Dedicated to advancing women's leadership and championing global equality for a brighter future.

Starting in September, we'll be hosting a monthly DineAround on the third Tuesday of every month, the first being held on Tuesday, September 17th. If you're interested in hosting a DineAround, please submit any and all dates you have hosting availability to info@iwfma.org.

We hope you'll join us for our Monthly Monday Happy Hours, hosted by IWF/MA's Jenny Holaday, President & CEO of Encore Boston Harbor. It’s a casual get-together to catch up with fellow members and a way to start your week off with us!

Happy 4th of July from IWF/MA! Did you know? 🌟 Massachusetts was the first state to recognize July 4th as an official state celebration? IWF/MA is proud to uphold this legacy of trailblazing and support the many remarkable women leaders who have shaped our society and who have fought for liberty, justice, and equality. 🗽🇺🇸 Cheers to a fun and safe independence day!

Just ahead of Bunker Hill Day, our members had the opportunity to take an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of one of Boston's most historic landmarks, the Bunker Hill Monument. IWF/MA member Julie Hall and her amazing team lead our members on a private tour of the monument grounds, including the Bunker Hill Monument Lodge and King Solomon Lodge. A bonus was the chance to witness the naturalization ceremony where 75 new Americans were sworn in on the monument grounds. After an optional climb to the top of the monument, the day ended at the Warren Tavern, the oldest tavern in Massachusetts and one of the most historic in America. It was a day filled with Boston history and we can't thank Julie and her amazing team enough for providing this experience to our group!

Last night’s Behind the Scenes and Spring Reception at Encore Boston Harbor was a dream! We started off the evening with a fireside chat with IWF/MA member, Jenny Holaday, who shared her incredible career journey that lead her to her current role as CEO of Encore Boston - truly inspirational! We were then lead on a private “behind the scenes” tour of the hotel and casino - members even got to do a little game playing before we headed out to the lawn where the evening continued with our Spring Reception - it couldn’t have been a more gorgeous evening with the best company. We can never thank the staff at the Encore enough for their hospitality and generosity to our organization - we’re so lucky to have their partnership. Many thanks again to Jenny and her team for always making us feel like royalty!
