Newswise — Charles Pagnam has joined The Mount Sinai Medical Center as Senior Vice President for Development. Mr. Pagnam, 50, comes to Mount Sinai following 27 years in numerous fund-raising positions at Yale University, most recently as Vice President of Development.
"Mr. Pagnam's long experience in attracting philanthropy in the multi-faceted university environment will be a major asset in expanding support for Mount Sinai's academic, research and clinical endeavors," said Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Mount Sinai Medical Center and Dean of Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
At Yale, Mr. Pagnam oversaw the Office of Development, with the development officers of the university's ten professional schools, including the Schools of Medicine, Law, and Management, reporting to him.
"Regardless of whether the cause is an academic institution, a university or a medical center, the goal of development efforts is to create an inclination in prospective donors," said Mr. Pagnam. "I hope to create that predisposition in a wider range of potential supporters by broadening the understanding of the value of contributing to Mount Sinai."
Mr. Pagnam anticipates that one aspect of his experience at Yale that will translate especially well at Mount Sinai is his record of attracting support from individual donors.
