Mission - The Hispanic Women's Network of Texas (HWNT) advocates for the advancement of Hispanic
Women.
History - HWNT was founded in 1987 when members of existing women's and Hispanic groups from around the state came together to create an organization that would address issues unique to Hispanas. HWNT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization recognized as the premier Hispanic women's
organization in Texas. Chapters exist in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Rio Grande Valley-McAllen, and San Antonio. Visit the state site.
Austin Chapter - The Austin Chapter of HWNT has approximately 100 members and is active in the community in a variety of ways. Regular meetings, cultural events, networking and professional development opportunities are an integral part of the chapter's activities. In addition, the
