As Chair of the Trustee Advisory Council, one of the things our owner, Debbie Danto, values most about the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce is the opportunity to bring exceptional people together for meaningful conversations. ✨
This week offered another wonderful example as Chairman’s Circle, Trustee Plus, and Trustee members gathered for a first-class reception at the beautiful Ibis Sky Lounge at the Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel. The event was co-hosted by the Omni and the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS).
The evening featured Shane Strum, President and CEO of Broward Health and Interim CEO of Memorial Healthcare System, as the guest speaker. Debbie had the pleasure of joining Shane for a fireside chat about Better Together—the collaboration among Broward Health, Memorial Healthcare System, and Nicklaus Children’s Hospital—and how this important initiative is helping save more lives while strengthening Broward County’s economy.
A special thank-you to Jenny de Borja and the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber team; Valerie Peru and the Omni team; CEO Joe Cox and MODS; Shane Strum, Kathy Salerno, and the Broward Health team; and everyone who helped make the evening so special. ✨
