WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Hispanic Women's Network of Texas on the special
occasion of its 27th anniversary; and

discuss the need for a statewide organization to address the
specific needs of Hispanic women; and
WHEREAS, A steering committee was formed of 10 women from
different geographic areas across the state who would poll their
respective regions and meet in a statewide setting; a conference
was held in Dallas in 1987 with 200 women from diverse
backgrounds and occupations, who made a commitment to remain
united and focus attention on common issues; that commitment
remains at the forefront of the organization's efforts today; and
WHEREAS, Members of the Hispanic Women's Network of Texas
work to cultivate the social, cultural, legal, and educational
interests of Hispanic women, and they have supported and
sponsored such events as the Women's Right to Vote Celebration,

educational, mentoring, and intergenerational programs; and
WHEREAS, The Hispanic Women's Network of Texas now has
chapters in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Denton, Fort Worth,
