Honoring Professional and Civic Achievements. A Benefit for the TEW Scholarship Fund.
Join us for the Women on the Move Luncheon – a milestone celebration honoring more than four decades of extraordinary women who have made a lasting impact in our community.
For over 40 years, Women on the Move has recognized exceptional women whose professional achievements, leadership and commitment to community have helped shape Houston.
Thanks to our co-chairs Chastiti Horne (WOM 2014) and Marie Arcos (WOM 2025) for their leadership for this year’s event!
Since 1979, the membership of Texas Executive Women (TEW) has included some of Houston’s most influential and successful women in Houston. In 1985, TEW expanded its legacy with the creation of Women on the Move, an annual recognition honoring 10 exceptional women.
Soon after, the Texas Executive Women Scholarship Fund was established. Since its inception, the fund has helped positively change the lives of thousands of girls through scholarships, educational field trips and individualized mentoring.
As a non-profit organization, donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
In 1985, the Sakowitz family was among the most successful business families in Texas. Robert Sakowitz believed strongly that the Houston’s accomplished businesswomen should be recognized for their professional achievements and contributions to the community.
He brought his idea and passion for it to another influential Texas family, the Hobbys. At the time, the Hobbys owned the Houston Post and a local television station – ideal resources to spread the word and gather nominations for the first-ever Women on the Move class.
The response was overwhelming. From the beginning, Sakowitz insisted that the 20 finalists – and ultimately the 10 women selected each year – represent the best of Houston. Expectations were high, not only for professional achievement, but for meaningful community service as well.
That legacy continues today as the 10 Women on the Move are recognized annually at the Women on the Move Luncheon. Thanks to generous corporate and individual supporters, the luncheon is the primary source of funding for the Texas Executive Women Scholarship Fund and mentoring programs.
Women on the Move considers every corporate and personal sponsorship an investment in the future. There are many deserving non-profits in Houston, and we believe our mission is unique because the impact of education, mentoring, and opportunity can last a lifetime.
Our 2026 Women on the Move Luncheon will be held on December 8, 2026.
For the 40 Years of Women on the Move Luncheon—a milestone celebration honoring four decades of extraordinary women who have made a lasting impact in our community.
Thanks to our co-chairs Marie Arcos and Chastiti Horne, Women on the Move Class of 2014 for their leadership!
Since 1979, the membership of Texas Executive Women (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 girls’ lives have been forever changed through scholarships, field trips and individualized mentoring. As a non-profit organization, your donations are tax-deductible.
In 1985, Robert Sakowitz’ family was one of the most successful business dynasties in the state. It was the businessman who felt strongly that the city’s businesswomen should be recognized.
He took his idea and passion for it to another powerful Texas family, the Hobbys. At the time, the Hobbys owned the then-Houston Post and a local television station. Ideal resources to spread the word about nominations for the first ever Women on the Move. The number of nominations that first year were overwhelming. From the beginning, Sakowitz insisted that the 20 finalists and the 10 women ultimately named each year would be the best of the best. There were high expectations not just for professional achievements, but for community service as well.
That legacy continues today as the 10 Women on the move are recognized at an annual luncheon. Thanks to generous corporate and individual donors, these luncheons are the primary source of funding for our scholarship fund and mentoring programs, both of which have become even more relevant in a tough economy.
Women on the Move considers your corporate or personal sponsorship to be a privilege. There are many deserving non-profits in Houston. We consider our cause to be unique because the outcome of our mentoring and scholarships last a lifetime.
Our 2026 Women on the Move Luncheon will be held on December 8. If you are a former Woman on the Move or a TEW Member and would like to join the WOM committee, please contact us.
