The Forum is a membership organization and a network of over 600 women leaders representing diverse industries, backgrounds, and lived experiences. Forum members are the leaders of Philadelphia’s most important institutions and represent all of the sectors that drive our regional economy.

The Forum of Executive Women was founded in 1977, a time when there were only a handful of women in leadership roles in Philadelphia. Forum members boldly gathered to share their experiences navigating barriers to leadership, galvanized by a mutual desire to advance more women into the top roles of the Philadelphia region. 
 
As women’s leadership in the region has expanded, so has our organization. Today, The Forum is a mission-driven organization with initiatives that serve to expand the impact and power of women in the workplace and beyond.
