Our Mission

Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas promotes
for the advancement of 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, Denton (new chapter)Fort Worth, Houston, Laredo, Rio Grande Valley and San Antonio.
