WORLD WITHOUT BORDERS

Hong Kong SAR – May 20-22, 2009

June 9, 2009

Dear IWF Members:

Despite a struggling economy, and an outbreak of a worrying virus, the International Women's Forum's 2009 World Cornerstone Conference in Hong Kong - World Without Borders - drew 400 leaders from 30 nations to Hong Kong, SAR, China for a robust, critical and momentous global exchange.

The program couldn't have been more timely - the moment more important - or the opportunity more meaningful for women leaders to come together to explore solutions, find answers and collaborate globally at such a time on the international stage.

On behalf of the International Women's Forum, we extend heartfelt thanks to IWF Hong Kong for hosting this successful World Cornerstone Conference.  And, we devote the following photo journal, press coverage and video presentation of the Cornerstone sessions to our Hong Kong members.  Available now on IWF's website, please click on the following links to enjoy one of the richest and most pertinent global conversations brought to women leaders by IWF.

We look forward to seeing many of you in Miami October 7-9, 2009.  You won't want to miss the global exchange about to unfold in the highly diverse and internationally dynamic city of Miami  that has incubated countless dreams past and which will launch many more to come in a world in transition!

Best regards,

Esther Silver-Parker

IWF President
