Transitions...As We Mature...I Wish I Had Known... May 11, IWF NorCal members Yvette Hollingsworth Clark and Dr. Valencia Ray helped to unpack the aging process and the multiple transitions we as women may experience.

Bi-Coastal Cocktail Cafe May 6, IWF members from IWF British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Southern California, Northern California and the Caribbean/Bermuda attended our first "Bi-Coastal Cocktail Cafe." With up to 8 IWF members in each of the 22 Cafes, it was a wonderful opportunity to meet and get to know some of our IWF sisters in other West Coast and Caribbean/Bermuda forums.
April 28, we held five virtual spring dine arounds for IWF NorCal members, each hosted by a member with fun and creative themes, including the Academy Awards, Mediterranean Delights, New Beginnings, and Derby Day. Thank you to our hosts and all who participated for some "Fun, Friendship and Food!"
April 27, IWF NorCal member Denise Brosseau, thought leadership consultant and author, led an informative and inspiring workshop for members of the five west coast forums (British Columbia, Northern California, Oregon, Southern California, and Washington). Through workshop participants, we saw and heard how IWF thought leaders are sharing their opinions, amplifying ideas/people/events, convening the community, serving as a spokesperson, sharing the microphone, and codifying lessons learned.
