About National Conference of Puerto Rican Women (NACOPRW)

The National Conference of Puerto Rican Women, Inc. (NACOPRW) was founded in Washington, D.C., in 1972, as a non-profit, non-partisan organization to promote the full participation of Puerto Rican and other Hispanic women in their economic, social and political life in the United States and Puerto Rico. Mission Statement: “Preserving our heritage and rights through mentorship and leadership for a better tomorrow” Vision NACOPRW provides training, mentorship and leadership development at the local and national level through workshops and institutes during the annual convention, and through chapter programs. We preserve our Puerto Rican and Latino heritage through cultural activities and events. We seek justice and give voice to the preservation of civil, health, educational and other rights through the dissemination of information, networking, collaboration and advocacy with other national and local groups, and through education, celebration, community and civil involvement. Membership With headquarters in Washington, D.C., NACOPRW maintains a visible presence at the national and local levels through its chapters: Chicago, Indiana, Miami, Tampa, New York City, Northern Illinois, Philadelphia, Southern California, Tri-County Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Active members are women of Puerto Rican origin who subscribe to the goals of the organization and belong to a chapter. Institutional membership and membership-at-large are both available. The chapters in keeping with their community needs and interests conduct many activities. Anyone who supports the goals of NACOPRW may join as an associate member in a chapter or as member-at-large.
