London!! Tradition to Transformation 🙌
Such an important lesson for each of us: how to learn from the past while leading through change.👍

That’s the theme shared at this year’s
International Women’s Forum Cornerstone Conference in London.

You reinforced how important these global conferences are to our collective future: when accomplished women share ideas across generations and cultures, transformation becomes possible.🤩

Our traveling leadership and members at IWF Nevada enjoyed all the conferences and behind-the-scenes activities. 🎉🎉

London is amazing! 🍾🥂Thank you to our London IWF sisters 🤗 for creating such a creative, interesting and powerful event.👏👏

🎉🌟 Congratulations to the inaugural class of mentees in the International Women's Forum Nevada Mentoring Program! 🌟🎉

It's been an extraordinary journey watching this remarkable group of women grow, learn, lead, and inspire. 💜✨

Over the past six months, these talented mentees have been paired with accomplished leaders from Nevada's business and nonprofit communities, creating meaningful relationships built on trust 🤝, shared experiences 💬, and mutual growth 🌱.

The program was designed to support and guide emerging leaders, but, one of the greatest discoveries was how much we mentors learned from our mentees along the way. 🤗

Their fresh perspectives 💡, innovative thinking 🚀, determination 💪, and passion for making a difference ❤️ have inspired all of us. The exchange of ideas, experiences, and wisdom has been a true gift. It's a powerful reminder that mentorship is never a one-way street.

To each of our mentees: We are incredibly proud of you 👏 and excited to see where your journeys take you. Your futures are bright ✨, and your impact on our communities will undoubtedly be significant. 🌎

Please know that your IWF Nevada mentors and network are always here for you. 🤗 Once a mentee, always part of the IWF Nevada family. 💜

🙏 A very special and heartfelt thank you goes to Julie Gilday-Shaffer and Alexia Vernon, whose vision and determination brought this inaugural program to life. 🌟 They balanced demanding professional responsibilities 💼 and the realities of family life ❤️, and were still able to invest countless hours ⏰ to create an experience that will have a lasting impact on women leaders throughout Nevada.

Their commitment to lifting other women is leadership at its finest. 👏💜

🎊 Congratulations to everyone who made this milestone possible. Cheers to the continued growth of this program and the many leaders it will help shape in the years ahead. 🌱✨

Podcasts 🎙️ + Publishing 📚: a conversation with Stacey Gualandi and Beth Campbell.

What a treat for our Las Vegas 🌆 group with the International Women's Forum Nevada! 💪💃

Beth had been a guest on Stacey’s podcast, and they really hit it off together! 🤝 Watching them interact made us feel like they ought to make their chats a regular thing! 💬💫
Beth is on her third book 📘. She was inspired to write her first after living with a cancer diagnosis 💕. We're so glad that she's doing better.

One powerful quote 💡:
“We all experience valleys in life—whether they come as obstacles, setbacks, betrayals, or simply poor decisions. Lessons from the Valley is a reminder that you are not alone.” 💖
Thank you both for a memorable experience.

We can all learn "Lessons from the Valley."

Celebrating Friends, and Fun in February! ❤️
Thank you to everyone who joined us. It's always a special treat to meet and catch up. It matters. 💯 😍

The International Women’s Forum Nevada gathered in February for meetings in both Northern and Southern Nevada, intentionally choosing social settings that encouraged open conversation, trust, and camaraderie. 🤩

IWF in Southern Nevada met at the highly regarded Honey Salt restaurant. Our President, Julie Gilday-Shaffer was able to attend that meeting and then flew to Reno the next day to attend the Northern Nevada event! 🎉

IWF in Reno met at the home of IWF Nevada member Jill Tolles, who also managed to attend both meetings! 🎉

These moments of connection deepen our sisterhood and reinforce what we know about the power of women coming together: not just to lead, but to truly know and support one another across the business and nonprofit communities. 🙌

January was a beautiful reminder of the power of coming together, north and south, as the International Women’s Forum Nevada launched the new year with inspiring meetings across our state. 🤩

In Northern Nevada, we were energized by Jonathan Boulware, Regional VP of Nevada Operations for J Resorts. He shared insights on the exciting vision behind the Neon Line District and the momentum shaping Reno’s future. The conversation was dynamic, forward-looking, and full of optimism for what lies ahead. Thanks so much for your time and insight, Jonathan! 🎉

In Southern Nevada, we were deeply moved by heartfelt remarks from Karen, daughter of our beloved Claire Rothman, whose legacy continues to inspire and guide so many of us. It was a poignant and meaningful moment of reflection and gratitude. We're sharing a beautiful picture of Claire and our IWF Nevada sisters at the IWF World Leadership Conference hosted in Las Vegas in 2022! Love you, Claire! 💕

We were also uplifted by Lauralie Levy, who shared her powerful personal story "Battle-Born. Grounded. Unapologetically Nevada" and what it means to carry a true "Nevada-tude." Her authenticity, resilience, and passion sparked thoughtful conversation and left us feeling inspired and energized. 🙌

Lauralie's message: "From red rocks to purple mountain majesty, Nevada teaches a rare kind of strength--one that blends toughness with charisma, independence with warmth, and confidence with curiosity."

Grateful for these extraordinary speakers, meaningful connections, shared memories and the remarkable women who make IWF Nevada such a vibrant community. Here’s to a year of leadership, connection, and inspiration—across every corner of our Silver State. 💫

Mentoring Matters!🤩

So proud to celebrate a milestone moment: the launch of our official mentoring program for International Women's Forum Nevada! 🌟

Seeing so many of our accomplished members step forward to mentor talented, rising women across Nevada has been truly heartening. ❤️

We recently held our first meeting with mentees, and the energy in the room was unmistakable: thoughtful questions, big aspirations, and a shared commitment to leadership, growth, and giving back.

It was incredibly inspiring to spend time with this next generation of leaders. Their talent, curiosity, and optimism reaffirm why mentorship matters and why investing in women lifts our entire community. 🤗 We'll be working together for the first half of 2026.

We're grateful to everyone who made this program possible and excited for the meaningful connections and impact ahead.

A huge thank you 😍 for the leadership of Alexia Vernon and IWF President Julie Gilday-Shaffer and all the behind-the-scenes work needed to organize and maintain this program. 🙌
