Honoring Women. Celebrating Impact. Inspiring Community.

Presented by MujerFit | MujerFitMas 2026

Every community has women who lead, inspire, serve, and make a difference.

Across West Texas, women are making a difference every day through their work, creativity, leadership, compassion, and commitment to others.

The West Texas Women of Impact Awards recognize women who go beyond their everyday roles to inspire positive change, create opportunities, uplift others, and strengthen our communities.

Impact isn’t always measured by professional titles, business success, or public recognition. It’s also reflected in the lives we touch, the people we support, and the difference we make.

We invite you to nominate a woman whose contributions deserve to be celebrated.
