Guests can look forward to cocktails, seasonal bites, and the opportunity to connect with fellow women leaders while celebrating the accomplishments and moments that shaped the year.

    Whether you are reconnecting with longtime friends or meeting new members for the first time, Holiday Joy is one of IWF Chicago’s most cherished traditions — a time to reflect, celebrate, and look ahead with gratitude and excitement.
