Our Mission

Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas advocates
for the advancement of Hispanic Women
in public, corporate, and civic life.

The axiom "great minds think alike" applies to the origins of HWNT. The Hispanic Women's Network of Texas (HWNT) owes its existence to several great women who conceived the development of a statewide organization, which would fill the void of Hispanic women. Today, HWNT lives up to its mission statement of promoting diverse women in public, corporate, and civic arenas.

The Hispanic Women's Network of Texas is a state-wide organization of individuals from diverse backgrounds. Our mission is to advance the educational, cultural, social, legal and economic well being of all women through a broader awareness of our role in society, business and family. Members celebrate the positive image and values of the Hispanic culture.

HWNT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 1987 by inviting members of existing women's and Hispanic groups from around the state to create an organization that would address issues unique to Latinas.  HWNT has grown to become the premier Hispanic women's organization in Texas with chapters located in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston (new chapter), Rio Grande Valley and San Antonio.

Our Activities and Special Programs

Education Seminar Series, the flagship program of the Dallas Chapter, motivates Dallas Independent School District high school junior and senior students to continue their education and awards scholarships to senior students who complete our series of developmental seminars.

Every month, members gather at a special Dallas location to network, share ideas and enjoy a great lunch.
Our Friday Connections is one of the members favorite events.
