The International Women’s Forum opportunity was brought to St. Louis by Virginia Masters in the middle 1980s. Virginia invited several women to join her in establishing this organization. They named it the Missouri Women’s Forum. We salute these women leaders for their foresight in creating this very special group. Thank you from all of us to:
