We are proud and honored to share that Americas Business Networking (ABN) has been voted Best Networking Group in Weston in the 2025 Our City Media Best of Weston Awards.
The awards ceremony was held on June 2nd at the Courtyard by Marriott in Weston, where Americas Community Center Founder Fabio A. Andrade and Executive Director Alexis Pulido were honored to accept the award on behalf of the organization and the hundreds of professionals who have helped build the ABN community over the years.
While receiving this recognition was a special moment, it also gave us an opportunity to reflect on how far the program has come.
A Program Born From Community Need
Americas Business Networking began as a program of Americas Community Center with a simple mission: to help professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners connect and succeed.
Many of the individuals served by Americas Community Center arrived in the United States with extensive professional experience, successful careers, and established networks in their home countries. Yet upon arriving here, many found themselves starting over.
They needed connections. They needed visibility. They needed a place where relationships could be built and opportunities could be created.
ABN was developed to help fill that need.
What started as a small networking gathering has evolved into one of the largest and most active business networking communities in our area. Today, ABN brings together professionals from diverse industries and backgrounds who meet regularly to exchange referrals, support one another’s businesses, build lasting relationships, and strengthen the local economy.
At its core, ABN remains true to the philosophy that has guided Americas Community Center for the last 25 years: people working together.
More Than Networking
Over the years, ABN has become much more than a weekly networking event.
It has become a community where business partnerships are formed, friendships are created, referrals are exchanged, and professionals find support through every stage of their business journey.
The success of the program belongs to every participant, ambassador, presenter, volunteer, sponsor, and community partner who has invested their time and energy into helping others succeed.
This award is a reflection of that collective effort.
Celebrating the Success of Our Community
One of the most rewarding parts of the evening was seeing several participants of the ABN community recognized for excellence in their own industries.
We are proud to celebrate alongside fellow networking participants who were also honored at the Best of Weston Awards:
• Best Immigration Attorney – Adriana Gomez
• Best Sushi – Shibuya Sushi Art
• Best Language Academy – Elite Language Academy
• Best General Contractor – The Captain Contractors
Seeing participants of our network recognized for their hard work and dedication is a reminder of the incredible talent and professionalism that exists within our community.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who voted for Americas Business Networking and to Our City Media for recognizing the impact of the program.
As Americas Community Center celebrates its 25th anniversary, we remain committed to creating opportunities for professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to connect, grow, and succeed together.
This award belongs to every person who has attended a meeting, shared a referral, scheduled a one-to-one, supported a fellow business owner, or simply showed up ready to help someone else.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
We look forward to continuing to serve our community and helping create even more connections in the years ahead.
People Working Together.

Immigration Attorney
"As an immigration attorney, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the incredible work Americas Community Center does for our immigrant community. Through their programs and outreach, they have created a platform that truly empowers individuals seeking a better future in this country. Thanks to the network they've built—especially through Americas Business Networking—I’ve been able to collaborate with fellow immigration attorneys, share resources, and extend our reach far beyond what we could do alone. Together, we've provided guidance, clarity, and hope to individuals and families facing complex immigration challenges. This organization is more than just a support system—it’s a bridge that connects professionals with those who need us most. I’m proud to be a part of their mission." Americas Community Center empowers immigrants, connects professionals, and builds hope—impacting lives through collaboration, clarity, and a shared mission.
Bloomin Blinds
My name is Male Medana, I arrived at Americas Community Center four years ago when I emigrated from Argentina. I started with ABN for networking purposes, as a way to promote our business Bloomin Blinds a window coverings treatment franchise that we opened as part of our move to the United States. Little by little, I got to know more about Americas Community Center, and not only I get involved, but my family also became engaged in lots of programs. As I always say, it was not just about networking; it gave me the opportunity to meet amazing people who have taught me a lot. Americas is a large Family where I met several participants who helped me integrate into the United States. Through this experience, I learned a lot about this country , my actual city Weston and, most importantly, found support in becoming part of the community. I will always be eternally grateful to Fabio, Alexis, and their family for welcoming me into Americas Community Center. Not only for helping me integrate into the community but also for teaching me how to grow both in my business and as a person. Thank you so much!
Ociris Multiservices Cleaning
Americas is a community that works. I’ve been a part of the ABN networking group for the past year, and recently, I witnessed just how powerful this community truly is. A close friend of mine was going through a very difficult time — her daughter was in and out of the hospital with serious health struggles. Without hesitation, participants of ABN stepped in to help. An insurance agent offered guidance and advice even though my friend wasn’t a client. A doctor from a medical office provided telemedicine support, despite the little girl not being a patient. And the support didn’t stop there — the list goes on. What you find at Americas Community Center and within this networking group is more than just business connections. You find kind-hearted professionals who are driven by a spirit of service. This is a network that truly shows up when it matters most.
