(I-nspire. A-chieve.

The leadership team includes Ms. Glenda Mae Santos, Ms. Gloria Montefalcon, Ms. Winnie Aguilar and Ms. Elvie Reyes, who together steer the organization’s mission of supporting career-focused Filipina women and providing them with the tools and opportunities to excel both personally and professionally.

The official launch event, graced by Her Excellency Lilibeth Pono, the first Filipina ambassador to Qatar, and attended by over 50 Filipinas, marked the beginning of IAM Filipina’s journey. Since its inception, the organization has hosted major events dedicated to empowerment through mentoring and capacity-building initiatives. These events focus on key areas of growth, including work-life balance, confidence building, financial literacy, job application strategies, and personal development.

At the core of IAM Filipina’s mission is its flagship mentoring program, which has already guided over 22 Filipinas through more than 60 mentoring sessions. With an impressive 80% goal achievement rate, the program has made a lasting impact on the personal and professional growth of its participants.
