Our mission
To create solutions for women’s issues in our community. To promote the physical, mental, professional, and business growth of Catalina women, emphasizing the strengths and skills each member brings to the organization by concentrating our resources.
Catalina Island Women's Forum History
In May, 1995, a group of uncommon women met to discuss forming a chapter of a national organization. But they realized the benefit of launching a local organization, one that would directly impact our community. The group continued to meet and grow and by July, 1995, the Catalina Island Women’s Forum was born. Since then, the forum has impacted the lives of hundreds of Catalina women, providing friendship and support, scholarships and refuge.
