ABOUT - Global Women Leadership Forum (GWLF)

About the Global Women Leadership Forum (GWLF) The Global Women Leadership Forum (GWLF) is an annual leadership platform organized by the Diversity Advancement Network to advance women’s participation in civic, corporate, and community leadership. Launched in 2016 through the vision of founder Paul Ade, GWLF was created to inspire, mentor, and equip women and girls to lead with confidence and purpose.

Now in its third year, the 2018 Forum was held at Queen’s Park, home of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, in recognition of the United Nations International Day of the Girl. The forum brought together accomplished women leaders from diverse industries to share insights, mentor emerging leaders, and foster meaningful dialogue. Featuring distinguished keynote speakers and mentors, the event received overwhelmingly positive feedback and was recognized as one of the most impactful women-focused forums organized by the Network.

Through GWLF and its broader initiatives, the Diversity Advancement Network continues to support women’s leadership and economic empowerment across Canada, a few other countries and the Caribbean, creating spaces where women and girls can connect, lead, and thrive.
