Broward County One of them became the first Latina elected to the Palm Beach County School Board. Another represents only 2 percent of Latino pediatric orthopedic surgeons in the United States. And another, known as a 'madrina de los seguros,'or an 'insurance godmother,' co-founded a business that now spans the state of Florida. Those are just three of the 14 women recognized at a luncheon Friday afternoon, the 21st edition of the Hispanic Women of Distinction ceremony. Dr. Erwin M. Vasquez, a Venezuelan cardiologist, started the event to empower and celebrate Latinas and Hispanics in South Florida in 2001.
