NCADD honored a remarkable couple – Joel Klein, Chief Policy and Strategy Officer at Oscar Insurance and former Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education under Mayor Michael Bloomberg; and his wife, Nicole Seligman, President of Sony Corporation of America and Sony Entertainment – for their many contributions to society and their support of NCADD and its goals.
