The LDSWF was formed from the BYUMS-UK Chapter and Greater London LDS Business Forum to further the recent challenge of President Russell M Nelson at General Conference last October echoing Elder Boyd K Packer’s comment, “We need women who are organized and women who can organize. We need women with executive ability who can plan and direct and administer; women who can teach, women who can speak out. …We need women with the gift of discernment who can view the trends in the world and detect those that, however popular, are shallow or dangerous.”
