Womens Hall of Fame Luncheon

The Women's Hall of Fame Luncheon, an annual celebration hosted by the LULAC Women's Commission, shines a spotlight on the remarkable contributions of women within the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). As one of the first national organizations to emphasize the role of women, LULAC established its first women's council in El Paso, Texas, in February 1934. Since then, the role of women in LULAC has grown exponentially, evolving into pivotal leadership positions and driving significant initiatives across the organization. This luncheon honors the strength and resilience of Latinas, celebrating their invaluable contributions to the U.S. and featuring the induction of seven extraordinary women into the LULAC Women’s Hall of Fame.
