The International Women’s Forum (IWF), a global organization of preeminent women from government, academia, arts, business and science, announced today that it will induct the Hon. Donna E. Shalala, president of the University of Miami, into its International Hall of Fame.
The induction will take place on October 9, 2009, before a global audience in Miami. Shalala will join the ranks of 60 other women leaders who have received the IWF Hall of Fame Award, including Margaret Thatcher, Rosa Parks, Mary Robinson, Sandra Day O’Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Maya Angelou, Gloria Estefan and more. The presentation event will recognize the accomplishments and enduring hard work of three influential women toward the advancement of women’s leadership across careers, cultures and continents. The three women include Donna Shalala, Sylvia Earle and Tzipi Livni.
Shalala has more than 25 years of experience as an accomplished scholar, teacher and administrator. She has held tenured professorships at Columbia University, the City University of New York (CUNY) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has served as president of Hunter College of the CUNY and as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. From 1977-80, she served in the Carter administration as Assistant Secretary for Public Development and Research at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and has been recognized as the longest serving U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services under the Clinton administration. In June 2008, President George W. Bush presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award. Shalala holds a doctorate from The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University and a bachelor’s degree from Western College for Women.
The Hall of Fame Awards presentation is the conclusion of the IWF World Leadership Conference that will be held in Miami on October 7-9, 2009. More than 600 international leaders are expected to attend.
Founded in 1982 in the United States, IWF has grown across five continents into 21 nations and 62 affiliated forum locations. Now, 25 years later, there are more than 4,300 women leaders participating in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, North America and the Pacific Basin. IWF facilitates networking among women of achievement and promotes opportunities for women in leadership to come together to exchange ideas and share insights to better our world.
