After reviewing more than 59 nominations, the following Latinas will be celebrated at the 24th annual Hispanic Women of Distinction charity luncheon on Friday, August 29th at the beautiful Pier 66 Hotel.  The event is presented by Latina Style national magazine and Nicklaus Children’s Health System, co-presented by Latin Business Today and numerous corporate and media partners.

Selecting the «creme de la creme» from the submitted nominations was challenging, as all those who were nominated were «winners in their own right».

The high-end, sold-out annual event is presented by Latina Style national Magazine and Nicklaus Children’s Health System along with Latin Business Today and more than 30 corporate sponsors and media partners benefiting FLITE Center.
