The Mujer Awards give well deserved recognition to Hispanic women who have made significant contributions to the empowerment and well being of the Hispanic community.
 
There are three Mujer Award categories:
  • The National Award will honor the sustained lifetime achievement of a Latina who has made a signifigant contribution to the empowerment and well-being of the Hispanic community at the national level.
  • The Regional Award will honor a Latina who has had an impact of her community with dedication and leadership.
  • The Alumna of the Year Award will honor an NHLI alumna who has had an impact within the NHLI network and beyond. 
All nominees must meet the following criteria to be considered for the 2013 Mujer Awards:

  • Throughout her life, she has sustained a clear vision for the future of the Hispanic community and her life has consistently reflected that vision.
  • Undaunted by difficulties, she has been faithful to herself and her beliefs and has acted with integrity.
  • Through the years, she has evolved with the times and has maintained herself grounded in the present social, economic and political environment.
  • She is a collaborative leader who inspires and motivated others and gets the goal accomplished.
  • She understands her personal power but shares it easily with those whose lives she has touched.
  • She values life, maintains joy, kindness, calmness and inner peace.
