The HWNT Latina Trailblazer Award recognizes a woman who has achieved significant success despite the obstacles she has faced along the way. She is a woman who has accomplished a "first" and opened the doors of opportunity for other women. This individual leads by example, embodies a positive spirit, works tirelessly to help others, and goes above and beyond the call of duty. No matter what her accomplishments, however, she is a woman who has blazed a trail for others to follow. At the Annual State Conference on Friday, September 30, 2022, Luncheon, HWNT State Board of Directors will honor one woman, who has blazed a trail for others to follow. The award winner will be selected from nominations submitted by HWNT members.
Nominees are distinguished statewide leaders who have achieved excellence in their profession, served the community in a meaningful way, and assisted women in reaching their full leadership potential.
