JULIE SILVER TALENFELD, Boardroom Communications' founder and president, enjoys a legacy of business innovation, client service and community involvement.
From the early days of her communications career, Julie sought to be the top resource for creative media and publicity. Julie began as an intern on CNN's national assignment desk in Washington, D.C. and as a writer and associate producer for its award-winning show, Crossfire. As a 22-year-old business reporter, she founded and produced the Florida Business Report, the first statewide business radio show, eventually syndicated on 30 stations. Julie later left to direct public relations for J.T. Moran Financial, a 20-office, $100 million New York investment banking firm.
By 25, Julie had launched Boardroom Communications to provide unparalleled media coverage to a wide scope of clients in the luxury real estate and retail, legal, banking, corporate and non-profit sectors. Today, the firm is one of Florida's leading PR agencies procuring major media results nationally and internationally.
The agency is a finalist for the South Florida Business Journal's Business of the Year and is listed as a Top-25 woman-owned business. This year Boardroom was named to the SFBJ’s Top 25 Corporate Giving list.

In 2011, Julie received the University of Florida's Alumni of Distinction Award as well as the Advocacy Award from Legal Aid.
Boardroom Communications provides pro Bono PR services to Florida's Children First, the state's most influential child advocacy organization; Broward Legal Aid; and Margaux's Miracle Foundation. Julie and Boardroom were honored with the Jewish Adoption & Foster Care Options (JAFCO) Jacobs Ladder Award for its dedication to child advocacy.
