Honoring Houston’s Exceptional Executive Women

HOUSTON - May 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Texas Executive Women (TEW) is set to host its annual Women On The Move Luncheon November 11, 2014 at the Bayou City Events Center and is seeking final submissions for this year’s 10 honorees by May 9.

Since 1979, the membership of TEW has included some of the most powerful and successful women in Houston.  Then in 1985, the brand grew to include Women on the Move, which recognizes 10 exceptional women each year.  Soon after, the Texas Executive Women Scholarship Fund was created.  Since its inception, thousands of young girls’ lives have been forever changed through scholarships, field trips, and individualized mentoring.

Thanks to generous corporate and individual donors, these luncheons are the primary source of funding for TEW’s scholarship fund and mentoring programs, both of which have become even more relevant in a tough economy.

Women on the Move honorees must meet certain criteria to be considered.  There are high expectations not just for professional achievements, but for community service as well.  Honorees must have at least seven years in the workforce in a professional, business cultural, government or civic occupation and must serve in a significant leadership or executive position, be the business owner, or have national recognition.  Diverse community involvement and/or charitable projects in addition to career responsibilities are a must.  If selected, the honoree is encouraged to devote at least 16 hours of volunteer time during the year they are honored to TEW’s mentorship program.
