National Hispanic Women's Conference
The mission of the conference is to offer Hispanic women an exceptional opportunity to come together to share and find innovative tools for achieving successful career paths and lives. In addition, professionals and businesses are provided a forum to share resources and information. Each year information is provided to address the needs of this growing population of women. They include: health, education, media/entertainment, self-fulfillment, political empowerment, cultural pride, employment, finance/business, technology, and the arts. The conference attracts Hispanic women from high schools, colleges and universities, adult and occupational centers, and career professionals from diverse fields.
