In addition to Pam, Delivering Good also honored Carole Hochman, chief executive officer, chief creative officer, director, chairwoman, Naked Brands, and Dr. Taryn Rose, founder and strategic adviser at the luncheon, which also saw each honoree gave touching acceptance speeches about how giving back should be a priority in one’s life and the important work Delivering Good does. The luncheon also included an inspiring keynote address Jodi Kantor, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times investigative reporter, who along with Megan Twohey, broke the story of Harvey Weinstein’s decades of alleged abuse toward women.
“Delivering Good is so much about dignity and bringing new products into people’s lives,” said Carole Postal, an officer of Delivering Good and president of Spotlight Licensing and Brand Management. She said the luncheon exceeded the charity’s attendance and financial goals.
