National Conference of Puerto Rican Women

The National Conference of Puerto Rican Women (NACOPRW) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization based in Washington, DC, dedicated to advancing the economic, social, and political participation of Puerto Rican and Hispanic women throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Since its founding in 1972, NACOPRW has developed comprehensive programming designed to build leadership capacity and professional advancement among Latina women at both local and national levels.

NACOPRW delivers targeted training, mentorship, and leadership development through multiple channels including specialized workshops, intensive institutes, and chapter-based programs. The organization's annual convention serves as a cornerstone event, bringing together women from across the country for professional development and networking opportunities. Beyond traditional training, NACOPRW actively works to preserve Puerto Rican and Latino cultural heritage through strategic cultural activities and community events.

The organization is committed to advocating for civil rights, health equity, educational access, and other critical issues affecting Hispanic communities. NACOPRW accomplishes this through information dissemination, strategic networking, collaborative partnerships with national and local organizations, and direct community engagement. With a national chapter-based structure, NACOPRW maintains a strong presence across multiple regions while maintaining its headquarters in Washington, DC, where it continues its mission of empowerment and advocacy for Latina women across the country.
