In 2006, the International Museum of Women (I.M.O.W.) completed phase one of its goal to build a global community by delivering informative, interactive and inspiring programs and exhibitions by accomplishing three key actions:

1. Leveraging the internet with the successful global online exhibition, Imagining Ourselves: A Global Generation of Women

2. Working collaboratively with strategic partners; and

3. Continuing to deliver local programming to Bay Area residents and visitors.

Phase two of I.M.O.W.'s strategy will focus on creating a permanent physical exhibition site in our hometown of San Francisco by 2012 and hopefully one day around the world, places where visitors can connect and become inspired in person and view exhibitions.

I.M.O.W. also plans to continue its exciting global online exhibitions, such as the current Women, Power and Politics, as well as deliver its popular San Francisco programming including its speaker series, Extraordinary Voices, Extraordinary Change, its annual Public Forum, which features I.M.OW.'s distinguished Global Council and other special events.

This unique model of a social change museum that will, by 2012, feature a complementary physical site, allows I.M.O.W. to connect with hundreds of thousands of people on a daily basis, reflect its global mission and build a museum that is sustainable for generations to come.
