THE WHITE HOUSE - WASHINGTON | October 22, 2014

I send greetings to all those attending the Iranian-American Women Foundation\'s (IAWF) Leadership Conference.

The diversity of our people has always been one of America\'s greatest strengths. The contributions of Iranian Americans have helped shape the country we love, demonstrating our Nation is strongest when we harness the talents of all our people.

Organizations like IAWF support emerging leaders with the tools they need to reach their full potential and excel in the jobs of today and tomorrow. By fostering dialogue, promoting mentorship, and cultivating professional development, your event offers a forum to expand opportunity and a reminder that when women of all backgrounds succeed, America succeeds.

As you gather in California, I wish you the very best for a productive, enjoyable event.

-- Barack Obama
