Founded in 2001 by the late Erwin M.Vasquez, M.D., a Venezuelan-born cardiologist, philanthropist and publisher of the pioneer Spanish newspaper, El Heraldo de Broward, the goal was to help to empower Latinas and to recognize the influence they have in the South Florida community. These Latinas, both past and present, are not afraid to dream big, to carve their own paths, to be grateful for the opportunities they have received, and to pay it forward to those who will follow.
Presented by Latina Style Magazine, the nation’s leader in Hispanic women business in partnership with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Latin Business Today and co-sponsored by Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and Visit Lauderdale, as well as a host of other corporate and media partners, the Hispanic Women of Distinction celebration has become one of the nation’s largest celebrations of Latinas.
Guests will enjoy a complimentary “motito” on arrival from Tito’s Handmade Vodka, refreshments, exciting Latin entertainment, a business expo along with a fantastic silent auction beginning at 11 am. At noon, the ballroom welcomes all guests with a superb luncheon, on-stage high-energy entertainment and a parade of the former honorees welcoming the 2024 Hispanic Women of Distinction to their special sisterhood.
The 2024 Honorees are:
