HWNT ANNUAL STATE CONFERENCE

30th ANNIVERSARY STATEWIDE CONFERENCE

The Hispanic Women's Network of Texas- El Paso, along with eleven chapters across Texas, is proud to announce its 30th Annual Conference, "Pearls of Wisdom, Cultivating Leaders" on September 30th October 2, 2016. This year's Honorary Chairs exemplify the organizations mission, vision, values and beliefs that HWNT embodies. Join Dr. Elba Garcia, Dallas County Commissioner, District 4, Mary Louise Garcia, Tarrant County Clerk, and Dr. Monica Mendez-Grant, Vice-President for Student Life at Texas Woman's University for an empowering and inspiring weekend of reflections, celebrations and visioning. Several local HWNT members attended this uplifting women's conference.

We were proud to honor our own Estrella de Tejas from the El Paso region: Aurora Anaya-Dyer. Each year at the HWNT State conference, HWNT Chapters honor women, from among the membership, who have made a significant contributions to their chapter and community. To be an Estrella, a woman must be an HWNT member, demonstrate leadership qualities, serve as a role model for fellow members and make an impact in her community. Aurora Anaya-Dyer, a HWNT member, has demonstrated these leadership qualities. To learn more the conference click here (http://www.hwnt.org/conference) .
