Six El Paso women with diverse careers all had one thing in common: gratefulness.
More than 500 El Pasoans gathered in Downtown to honor the 2022 Women of Impact at an awards breakfast Tuesday, Sept. 27, at the Hotel Paso del Norte.
Introducing this year's Women of Impact
It is with great honor and joy this week that we announce the 2022 Women of Impact. This year’s group includes outstanding women who have positively impacted our community across health, education and quality of life, just to name a few.
2022 Women of Impact
Leila Melendez handles the big jobs that have to get done – like moving 700 employees out of City Hall in 90 days before it was demolished to make way for Southwest University Ballpark.
Stephanie Otero describes her job “as an incredible opportunity to get paid for what I love to do.”
Emerging Women of Impact
Twelve years after launching Women of Impact, El Paso Inc. is expanding its reach through an offshoot program aimed at developing the region’s next generation of female leaders.
El Paso Inc.'s first Emerging Women of Impact conference took place at El Paso High on Saturday, Nov. 5. All participating students were hand selected to attend the program by their schools' administration.
Thank you to all who submitted nominations and applications to the 2022 Women of Impact.
