"It is an honor to bestow the Affiliate of the Year Award to Mujeres Latinas en Accion and showcase how their achievements have made a positive and sustainable impact in the Latino community," said Janet Murguia, NCLR President and CEO.
Launched in 1973, Mujeres has become the longest-standing Latina organization in the country. Serving more than 8,000 individuals yearly, Mujeres has emerged as a recognized leader in providing culturally proficient

Working in collaboration with government agencies, foundations, and corporations, Mujeres ensures that its comprehensive services and programs reach the broadest possible sector of the Latino community.
The Affiliate of the Year Award is presented annually and is an opportunity for NCLR to recognize an Affiliate for its exemplary work in positively impacting the local community and for its active engagement in critical NCLR policy and programmatic initiatives.
