Event Celebrates the Chamber’s Centennial with Prohibition Themed Fete
On Saturday, June 4, business leaders will gather at the Miami Beach Convention Center to celebrate another amazing year at the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce 98th Annual Gala presented by City National Bank. Over 500 of South Florida’s top professionals will gather at the largest networking event in Miami Beach to celebrate the achievements of business leaders. The event will also recognize the contributions of five distinguished pillars of the Miami Beach community for their continued commitment to the strength and growth of this thriving city as well as raise money for the Miami Beach Chamber Education Foundation, which supports the needs of the City’s public school system. The funds raised help fund a Mental Health Counselor for Miami Beach Senior High School, provides teacher grants, supply nurses in local schools, and helps fund IB Programs in Miami Beach Senior High School.
The black-tie event will celebrate the Chamber’s anti-prohibition stance in the 1920’s and will be a “Roaring” good time. The Chamber would like to thank its extraordinary Gala Chairs Alfredo Gonzalez, Seth Feuer and Richard Segal for their help in organizing this event and promoting it to the community.
The award recipients this year are:
Michael Capponi (Global Empowerment Mission) for the Citizen of the Year Award
DJ IRIE (Irie Foundation) for the Jan Pfeiffer Distinguished Service Award
Wayne M. Pathman, Esq. (Pathman Schermer Tandy, LLP) for the City National Bank Beach High Outstanding Achievement Award
Peggy Benua (The Dream South Beach) for the Excellence in Tourism Award
Barton S. Goldberg for the Leonard A. “Doc” Baker Lifetime Achievement Award
“We wanted to highlight the amazing accomplishments of people in our community that are making difference not only in Miami Beach but globally,” said Chair of the Board Aaron Tandy. “Our five honorees are exceptional people in their own right and we are excited to recognize them during our centennial year.”
