“To all of the independent women out there, let's keep going!” - Maria Bartiromo                                                                      
Hi Friend,
What a wonderful night we had last night at our Virtual Awards Celebration. We had over 1,000 registrants—and that doesn’t include the many families that joined our guests.

Normally, we celebrate the successes of each year and honor our awardees at a fancy gala in DC. But, I must say, there’s something so very special about what we did last night—focusing on the things, the ideas, and the people that really matter.

That’s one of the greatest blessings to come from this tough time we’re all in—that it’s brought us back to the basics.

Last night, we heard from inspirational leaders whom we honored with our organization’s top awards—Maria Bartiromo, Anchor and Global Markets Editor, FOX Business Network, FOX News Channel, the Barbara K. Olson Woman of Valor Award recipient; and Congressman Dan Crenshaw (TX-02), distinguished Navy Seal, the Gentleman of Distinction Award recipient.

They imparted some remarkable and inspiring life lessons we can all subscribe to and live by.

“That's the disintegration of America, when you can't share the things outside of politics anymore, when baseball becomes politicized, when basketball becomes politicized, when late-night comedy is purely political and purely designed to make fun of, in the most wretched of ways, half of America, that's a real problem, right? That's a signal that we're at a breaking point here…. where there is a fundamental desire to rip apart the few things that hold us together. And there are things that make us Americans. And that's our history, it's our holidays, it's the symbols… There's a common morality that I think we share.”
- Congressman Dan Crenshaw

“Patriotism should not be partisan at all.” - Congressman Dan Crenshaw
“At Independent Women’s Forum, we recognize and celebrate the women the mainstream media ignores - conservative policy leaders and activists, female entrepreneurs, community leaders, and women like many of you who are joining us tonight.”
- Carrie Lukas, IWF President

“I just say to all of the independent women out there, let's keep going!”

Then, I kindly ask you to invest in our efforts ([link removed]) , so we can continue to pursue policies that make life better for ALL Americans, particularly women.

Independent Women’s Forum and our sister organization Independent Women’s Voice are dedicated to developing and advancing policies that aren't just well intended—but actually enhance freedom, opportunities, and well-being.

We have had a record year of successes, and our organization’s mission and unique role are more important now than ever before. So we would love to have your support as we continue to grow and expand our reach and influence.
