Empowering Korean Women: Leading the Way to Global Leadership

Kathy Yu, President of KOWIN LA

As the 17th President of KOWIN LA, it’s my utmost honor to champion our mission of empowering Korean women to become leaders on the global stage. At KOWIN LA, we believe in fostering a community where Korean women are equipped with the skills, networks, and resources necessary to excel in all areas of endeavor. Through our extensive networking opportunities and comprehensive training and education programs, we strive to empower Korean women to reach their full potential and make meaningful contributions to society.

Since its inception in 2001 under the auspices of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, KOWIN LA has been at the forefront of supporting Korean women in various fields. From science and business to engineering, policy making, literature, and beyond, we have witnessed the remarkable achievements of Korean women who have risen to prominence and made a lasting impact in their respective domains. Our organization is committed to celebrating and amplifying these successes while also providing avenues for continuous growth and development.

With a steadfast dedication to advancing gender equality and promoting the leadership of Korean women, KOWIN LA remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every Korean woman has the opportunity to thrive. Together, we will continue to break barriers, shatter glass ceilings, and pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future where Korean women stand as leaders and trailblazers in every field imaginable.
