Chaplin, Chairman of the hospital’s Board of Trustees and Chairman and CEO of Southern Wine & Spirits, were among the speakers at the dinner. The gathering included more than 170 members and guests of the Society, representing the pinnacle of philanthropic support at the medical center.

During his presentation titled, “The Role Culture Plays in an Organization,” Sadove offered his philosophy on business leadership. Noting that the role of a leader is to understand the culture of his company and clearly communicate his strategy and vision for moving the organization forward. He also stressed the importance of giving back to the community.

Saks Fifth Avenue Bal Harbour has been a gracious supporter of Mount Sinai through various fundraising initiatives. In October 2012, The Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center benefitted from Saks Bal Harbour’s Key to the Cure event, an initiative to help generate funds and awareness for breast cancer. In addition, Saks Bal Harbour collaborated with Mount Sinai during, “Saks Loves Your Cause,” donating a percentage of purchases made with a Saks Fifth Avenue credit card to the hospital.

The Society of Mount Sinai dinner included a special presentation to Harvey R. Chaplin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Southern Wine & Spirits, and a longstanding supporter of the medical center. Marco Selva, general manager of the St. Regis, received a special gift in gratitude for co-hosting the event.
