Texas Women's Alliance

Formed in 1984, the Texas Women's Alliance (TWA) researches issues and works to influence government, with a focus on Texas affairs. Emerging in reaction to liberal women's groups, they give voice to conservative and business-oriented women, and recruit women who are professional, business and civic leaders. The TWA has studied and recommended policy on the state budget, economic growth, international trade, U.S.-Mexico relations, tax reform, judicial selection (merit election of judges), public school reform, higher education funding, and comparable worth (pay equity). With its overseas trade missions, the TWA aimed to find new markets for Texas businesses.
