National Hispana Leadership Institute

NHLI, a national 501(c)3 organization based in Washington, DC, was established in 1987 to address the underrepresentation of Latinas in the corporate, nonprofit and political arenas.

NHLI seeks to transform the lives of Latinas and their communities by:

• Enhancing and developing leadership abilities among Latinas

• Providing visible role models and mentors for Latinas
• Improving services to Hispanics across the country through its extensive alumnae network
