Elaine Sargent A trailblazer in Montreal and New York City, Elaine Sargent broke the glass ceiling as not only one of the first female stockbrokers in both Montreal and on Wall Street, but also one of the leading stockbrokers in an era when women were almost nonexistent in the world of finance. Her keen mind and passion for the arts led her from Chairmanship of the Angel’s Ball Committee in Montreal to being a great patron of the New York City arts including The New York City Opera, Lincoln Center Theater, New York Theater Workshop, Roundabout Theater, and to Chairing the Our Time Theater Company. Elaine established the Avon Chair dedicated to ovarian cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital. In 1997, she founded a McGill University scholarship in the name of her late uncle, Dr. Arthur Vineberg, a world renowned pioneer of modern day heart surgery.

Wendy Vanderbilt Lehman Wendy Vanderbilt Lehman was born in California to Manuela Hudson and Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt II, a pioneer in thoroughbred racing, whose father had gone down on the Lusitania. She grew up between Palm Beach and Manhattan. Wendy was featured in one of Lilly Pulitzer’s first advertising campaigns and attended the Truman Capote Black and White Ball in 1966. Known for her love of modernism, Wendy was greatly inspired by her mentors Georgia O’Keefe and O’Keefe’s sister, Anita Young. Wendy’s artistic expression spanned several mediums. Her work included extraordinary sculptures in wood and aluminum as well evocative paintings in acrylic and watercolor. In 2008, she was selected to be a part of The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States, which resulted in the placement of her work in museums across the country.

Ingrid Yonke Like her signature Chanel lipstick, Passion, Ingrid Yonke was a classic figure and lived her passion acquiring beautiful things. She honed her eye studying art and antiques and created perfect rooms mixing tradition with modernity. Ingrid was fun with a capital “F.” Whether welcoming fellow patrons of the Asia Society to her New York townhouse wrapped in an Hermes kimono, dancing with the principal dancers of the New York City Ballet at the annual gala in her silver de la Renta, or relaxing at her Southampton getaway in amusing Moschino, Ingrid mixed it up with style and grace, and a splash of creativity. Her love of beauty was demonstrated in her philanthropy as she worked tirelessly to make exhibitions of ancient porcelain and the wonder of ballet available to many. Ingrid loved life and lived hers with a child-like wonder, believing in endless possibilities and proclaiming her optimism to the world with her deep and joy-filled laugh. Ingrid was a classic and original beauty; there is no one like her.
