Aida Lugo McAllister, President

Welcome to the Indiana Chapter of the National Conference of Puerto Rican Women (NACOPRW) National Website. The Indiana Chapter consists of a group of women with different cultural and professional backgrounds that often contribute new ideas in pursuing our goals and creative solutions to achieving our mission.

We strongly support the concept that education is the foundation in empowering Puerto Rican women to become an asset to their community by awarding several college scholarships on a yearly basis. In addition, we promote and preserve our heritage through various cultural events.

Please join us in our efforts to promote and empower Latin women. Please visit our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NACOPRW/
