innovations, and enable creative collaborations in a variety of ways and spheres.
The Women Economic Forum encourages all women and supportive men to come together on a single platform to work towards their overall economic development and prosperity and contribute positively to society.
The ALL Ladies League (ALL) which is the parent network is the world’s largest All-inclusive international women’s chamber and a global movement for the Welfare, Wealth, and Wellbeing of ALL.
The acronym ALL stands for our inclusive spirit and faith in the power of one and all. With an empowering culture of positive energy and helpfulness, and a rm rule of non-divisive and non-discriminatory discourse, ALL is committed to building bridges, celebrating diversity and energising business and creative collaborations beyond borders, boundaries, and bias. ALL is non-political, non-religious and non- dogmatic. ALL believes in unleashing the power of each One through the power of Oneness.
As an 'Internet' of women, ALL is an all-inclusive worldwide web of women's leadership, friendship and entrepreneurship in ALL spheres, sectors and strata. ALL is the only such international chamber in the world to offer completely Free Membership. Membership is only given by invitation and reference.
With over 500+ chapters and 70,000+ members across 150+ countries (and growing), ALL is the fastest growing worldwide web of women where women across strata and societies are coming together to discover their strengths and leadership in unprecedented ways.
ALL Ladies LeagueGlobal Chairperson, Economic ForumWomen &Message from Dr. Harbeen AroraIt's been a divinely blessed journey of reaching out to our Soul Sisters across the world. This committed outreach over the years has brought h o m e t h e realisation that there's so much goodness, talent and inspiration across the world
and all we need to do for our greater collective strength and upliftment is to tap into it.
Through the "internet of women" fostered through the ALL Ladies League (ALL) and the relationships and businesses built through the Women Economic Forum (WEF) conferences, we are beginning to feel like One family of Soul Sisters across the world; who are there in readiness and support for one another.
Empowerment in all its forms is vital. Economic empowerment is key to the fullness of our leadership. With our various WEF events worldwide across the year, we connect inspiring women to awaken the innite opportunities of collaboration.
Women Economic Forum events are much more than a regular Business Conference: they are lled with an uplifting energy of "yes, we All can." Aimed at empowering women economically for their stronger leadership, we enable massive global exposure and access to connections worldwide to help grow businesses internationally, raise funds, encourage new start-ups, gain knowledge about new trends in technology and

WEF-Santa Barbara focused on the big opportunity for leadership from the feminine consciousness of nurturing and connecting, and how the feminine spirit can change the landscape for dialogue and growth in business and policies. The forum discussed global issues relating to women’s integration in the mainstream of society as well as cultures and mindsets that continue to leave many women out. It dived into inquiry around how through “soft power” of awakening the feminine in both men and women, the US can strengthen its leadership position in technology, innovation and creativity, and also play the much-needed role of bringing hearts and minds together. It was a collaborative platform for an open dialogue on how the United States has an opportunity to reinvent itself into a more dynamic, more collaborative, more inclusive society where the interests of a diverse cross sections of society are addressed and their growing global aspirations explored.

Testimonials
Mossarat QadeemExecutive Director, PAIMAN Alumni TrustIslamabad, Pakistan
C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s f o r organizing this historic forum in Goa. This was really a Herculean task of gathering distingui-shed professional, experts and leaders from across the
Globe. It is most impressive that you were able to get together such an illustrious group of renowned people from the different continents. The discussions were rich, informative, thought-provoking and worth more than endless hours of reading. History was made in those short three days and I don’t know if it would be possible to wait for another one that can come close to the breadth and depth of this forum and the excitement generated from it. I was so elated with all the discussions, heart to heart talks with some new found Indian friends that I felt I could sit through more days of such impressive discussions and deliberations. The beauty of the forum was that everyone wanted to work with each other and was eager to work for building trust and understanding.
I attended a women’s networking luncheon o n t a k i n g o u r w o r k / b u s i n e s s e s g loba l and met Ann Webb who is the All Ladies League Chair
for Utah. She offered the opportunity to go to India to the conference and participate. Easy choice! I chose to extend and travel for a month beyond that. This was the inaugural year for the WEF Women’s Economic Forum based out of India and promoting dialogues, c o l l a b o r a t i o n a n d s o l u t i o n s f o r women’s concerns locally, nationally and globally. I learned more in 4 days of being there than I could in a year of working at it from the U.S. I will be there next year!

All expectations were exceeded. The table of events pulsated with va r i e t y and i n te res t exceeded only by the r a i n b o w o f s a r i s assembled at the Pullman
Hotel in Aerocity New Delhi. The subject matter expanded effortlessly to include entrepreneurship, start ups, spirituality, psychological health, yoga, music in the workplace, parenting, dressing for success, flexi time and my own subject, the role of emotional intelligence in the workplace…‘Feel the energy, feel the love’, was the take away for all of the 1500 female delegates. The common language was one of encouragement and support for other women, inspiring them to go forward in the world and recognise their potential
Angela MortimerOwner, Angela Mortimer PlcUnited Kingdom
Every once in a great while you get to meet an Angel on Earth. Harbeen Arora is one of those Angels. She is the love and vision that brought together 1600 delegates
from 91 countries to unite us all in a global conversation on what is possible in the world. I have rarely witnessed such love and compassion pour forth from one individual. From session to session from conversation to conversation, Harbeen was a light encouraging, supporting and empowering each of us to find our light and shine for the world. Thank you, dear sister, for making my lifelong dream come true. From the conference in New Delhi to Baba’s sitting place, it was truly a magical and life changing experience.
I want to express my gratitude and applaud you for such a wonderful enriching forum. I wanted to mail immediately and extend my thanks but knew you must be tired
after the jaw dropping conference for a week. It was by far one of the best I have attended and feel privileged to be a part of it. Your hospitality and the attention to every little detail is commendable. You and your team totally rock! Never imagined that it was pulled off with so much laughter, joy and grace. I am short of words to express the experience and the learning I have encountered during these three days and I am sure next year I will attend all the days.It was beautiful amalgamation of women, charm and knowledge. I am humbled and motivated by all the women I have met and specially by you. I am sending across much love, happiness and light to you and all your team. I am extremely sorry that I personally cannot convey the same but believe me the feeling is there.
Madhu CheboluCEO of FreshChops, India
Greetings !! Thankful to J u s t i n a M u t a l e f o r connecting me with Dr. Harbeen Arora. Frankly e v e n t h o u g h I w a s interested, I was not sure that I would be able make
it, until 3 days before the conference. It was such an uphill battle for me, for many reasons. I also had mixed feelings on what to expect. I wasn’t disappointed at all… It was very beautiful and fruitful, to say the least.

Participating in Women Economic Forum ALL never have I thought that ALL, Dr. Arora and the trip to India will inspire me that much and change my perspective on many things. I am very grateful for being part of ALL and part of the Forum. The book and its author definitely empower creative, positive, colorful change that leads to happiness and love. Thank You Harbeen for being such an inspiration to me and all the women that met this year in Goa. Thank you for making ALL happen.

I also want to take this opportunity to THANK you for all your t ime and contributions to the WEF. It clearly was a LOT of work and your efforts were greatly appreciated by all.
I want to thank you from the core of my heart for the opportunity you gave t o t h o s e 4 u n d e r privileged women of Help Us Help Them. Not only did it give them a platform
to share their story, but also inflicted great confidence to face so many people from different walks of life and speak in front of them. In fact Meena Bibi (one amongst the four of them) by the end of the day was so blissful that she said that she seemed to have lived her entire life in that one day. The awards that were given to them were not just trophies for them, but it has empowered them to do more and fight their hardships with more endurance and faith. I am extremely grateful to you and your team for accepting my request, as a women nothing can surpass the feeling of liberation and freedom. I wish you all the best for your future endeavours.

The divine soul, She was a luminous presence through and though. She founded, hosted, curated, facilitated, and nurtured this weeklong summit Women Economic Forum
that was the reason I went to India in the first place. I was completely blown away by her embodiment of refined grace, intelligence, presence and beauty. Thank you Harbeen. You are truly an expansive and luminous light in this world.
Jess JohnsonSinger, USA
My sincerest gratitude for everything! I don’t even know how or where to s t a r t . I a m s t i l l s o overwhelmed with the event, that I feel like I still have a WEF hangover. I
did not just learn a lot, the friendships and connections made with the other ladies are priceless. It’s like I have broadened my horizon career-wise and made new friends along the way. The ALL ladies empower each other and are achievers in their own rights. There was a good mix of personalities, backgrounds, cultures and professions, that itself made an impact on my outlook in life. I may have been one of those who have lesser experience age-wise and career-wise compared to most of the delegates, but talking to them, hearing them talk, knowing and spending time with them motivates me and makes me realize the choices that I have made. I couldn’t see and understand why things happened before, but everything now just make me realize that all the things in past were bound to happen exactly how they happened. Otherwise, the rest wouldn’t turn out this way. And right now, I am just really grateful. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Mary AdamsVice President, Fundraising, The FAWCOFoundation, Netherlands
The energy in the sessions, the enthusiasm of women sharing information and growing stronger and more united by the minute was wonderful to see. It was very different from most
business events that I have attended or organised because the scope of content was so vast, yet so personal. People came to learn, to teach, to listen, to reveal, to act.
I found all the ladies speaking at the plenaries and discussion groups to be so inspiring, articulate, uplifting. For me it was a transformative event on many levels; to be able to
contribute to that outpouring of inspiration to others would be amazing.
Carmen DeansMaster Practitioner at Super Able Mind, UK
I am still riding on the waves of inspirat ion, friendship and much more I experienced during the WEF event. You have c rea ted a wonder fu l platform for women all

First I would like to thank you for the beautiful time I had at WEF in New Delhi t h i s m o n t h . T h e experience exposed me to new cultures, people, energy, and even new
relationships. I quite honestly did not know what to expect, it being my first time participating. Everything from the venue to the staff was 5 star and I thank you for being the visionary of the All Ladies League and WEF. Together we go farther and I feel that I have an extended family within the WEF community.
I’ve loved every single second & met some AMAZING people, many of whom I’m sure will remain part of my life for years to come BUT more than anything else I’ve
LEARNED!I’ve truly learned that the power which resides within us all is ours alone to use to create greater good both for ourselves & others, but moreover we ARE all of us the same & together we are as one. We are different for sure: skin colour, culture, the clothes we wear, the challenges we face but we are ALL the same deep down and with a united sense of passion & purpose we can between us change the world around us….one small step at a time!…thank you for the opportunity & experiences here in Mother India. Thank you for the love, kindness & compassion so willingly shared.
