About the Conference
Since 1993, NHLI’s annual Executive Leadership Training & Mujer Awards Conference has showcased professional and cutting-edge leadership development, networking, education and inspiration — all facilitated by some of the country’s most successful Latinas, top-level executives from both the public and private sector, entrepreneurs, authors, and fitness experts.
The Mujer Awards recognize the sustained lifetime achievement of Hispanic women who have served their communities and acted with justice, love, and the deepest of pride in the culture. The Mujer awardees embody the values and philosophy of NHLI as stated in the eligibility criteria. There are three award levels — National, Regional and the Chair’s Award. More information about the 2008 Conference will be forthcoming in the next few months.
