About MANA
MANA National was founded in 1974 as the Mexican-American Women’s National Association. MANA’s original intent was to provide a voice for Mexican-American women at the national, state and local levels. Since then, the organization has expanded into a diverse group of Latinas in all areas of political, social and professional fields. In 1994, recognizing our diverse constituency, the membership voted to change our name to MANA, A National Latina Organization. Currently there are 16 chapters throughout the United States.
The San Diego Chapter was founded in 1986 and has more than 2,000 supporters.
We appreciate the support and assistance of Darlene Tenes of CasaQ, a food writer, cooking instructor and television presenter. She is renowned for creating exclusive culinary events and cultural experiences which incorporate the traditions and customs of Spain, Mexico and Latin America.
