career as a leader in the communications industry
MIAMI, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
(SFLHCC) honored Patricia Vila,
president of Patty Vila Media (PVM) with the Communications Award
at their annual Hispanic Leadership Awards on April 5. She was first recognized by the SFLHCC
in 2017 because of her work at Tenet Healthcare.
Vila, a long time supporter of the chamber and its initiatives
to support the Hispanic business community, is recognized as a
leader in the communications industry and her enduring impact in
the South Florida community.
The SFLHCC is a nonprofit organization established in 1994 to
promote business leadership, create economic prospects and provide
legislative advocacy for the Hispanic business community in
South Florida.
"This honor is a testament to Patty's unwavering dedication to
clarity, creativity, and connection," said Lilliam Lopez, president and CEO of SFLHCC. "Her
mastery of the art of communication has amplified the voice of her
clients and inspired us to reach new heights. We are immensely
proud to celebrate her remarkable achievements and grateful for the
profound impact she's made on our community and beyond."
Vila's career began as secretary for CNN, an opportunity
she saw as a stepping stone into the journalism field and one that
would inevitably propel her successfully through a career marked
with incredible experiences. Most notably, one of her crowning
accomplishments was being a part of the pioneer team that set up
CNN's Havana bureau in
Cuba, in 1997. The first American
news agency on the island since 1969. While at CNN in Miami and in Cuba, she covered the Cuban Rafter Crisis, the
Peruvian Hostage situation, Haiti
and so much more. She also had the opportunity to interview five
world leaders.
She eventually made her way into public relations where she is
now the head of her own company. Vila emphasizes building vital
relationships with everyone as the key to her success.
Motivated by the desire to build something unique, her business has
allowed her to have independence and the freedom to pursue the
several opportunities that she is most passionate about.
"I am a woman who builds relationships as a key part of my
business strategy. I am an observer of people and see trends," says
Vila. "My advice to those just starting their professional journey,
and it might seem harsh, is this: get off your phone, see people in
person, and communicate eye-to-eye. It will make a lifetime of
difference for you."
