2024 Impact Report

How we increased the impact of women in the workplace and beyond.

"It is with great pride that I share The Forum of Executive Women’s 2024 Impact Report. As the inaugural President and CEO of The Forum, I came into my role with great respect for the history and legacy of our organization. As I reflect on 2024, I am grateful for the members and leaders within The Forum who believed in our shared vision – that The Forum could be the premier voice representing women in the workplace in Philadelphia.

I am pleased that in 2024, we were able to meet the moment, responding to some of the most critical issues facing women – as business leaders, voters, parents and caretakers, and community stakeholders – during a challenging year.

This year was one of exciting transition and growth for The Forum. We kicked off our 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, making important commitments to our member experience, advocacy, philanthropy, and the sustainability of our organization.

For the first time ever, our professional staff expanded to four full-time employees. Our membership grew to 646 memebers - our largest count ever. We also welcomed 11 new sponsors in support of our mission. We hosted over 100 events at stunning local venues. We found our voice as advocates for women in the workplace. We gave back to our community through mentoring and nonprofit partnerships. Most importantly, we served as a connecting point for Philadelphia’s most accomplished women leaders and a place where meaningful friendships were built.

Our accomplishments as an organization are a reflection of our members’ dedication to The Forum and the Greater Philadelphia community. Whether you are a legacy member or brand new to our organization, know that The Forum is a place where you can find support. Let’s take a moment to celebrate 2024, as we have much to achieve together in 2025. Onward!"
