Women’s Hall of Fame Luncheon

The LULAC Women’s Hall of Fame Luncheon stands as one of our most powerful traditions—honoring the legacy of Latina leadership that began with our first Women’s Council in 1938. This year, we proudly induct five extraordinary women whose service and impact reflect the very best of our community. More than a celebration, the luncheon affirms the vital contributions Latinas have made to the United States and continues LULAC’s enduring commitment to uplifting Latina voices across every field.
