2015-2016 Vision for the HWNT Fort Worth Chapter
HWNT is Unifying, Energizing, and making an IMPACT in Fort Worth.

HWNT Fort Worth is thankful for our long legacy of dedicated
members and leaders. Without their time and hard work, we would not be the
organization we are today. That is why each year, we take the time to honor and
celebrate our organizations “Rising Stars”. These individuals are members that
have gone above and beyond, demonstrated leadership, and have made significant
contributions to our organization. This year it is an honor to celebrate two
amazing women who not only proudly live by the mission of our organization, to
promote and advocate for women, they have gone above and beyond to serve our
members and students.
HWNT Fort Worth is Proud to Congratulate our Rising Stars Award Recipients:
Lisa D. Mares and Diana E. Pittman
Similarly we, as a female organization, are very thankful for the outstanding support we receive from our male membership! There are several men who have made significant contributions to our chapter each year so each year, we honor a special gentleman with our “Brillo Award.”
