This prestigious accolade is awarded to professionals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to philanthropy, particularly in their efforts to uplift the most vulnerable segments of the South Florida community. Scott has been recognized for his significant contributions to the Miami Children’s Museum in his role as President, a testament to his commitment to fostering educational and developmental opportunities for children.
"We are incredibly proud of Scott and his unwavering dedication to giving back to the community," said Al Dotson, CEO & Managing Partner of Bilzin Sumberg.

The Museum also developed two new traveling exhibits. Scott is also a founding member of the Cultural Chair Consortium-Miami Dade, a group dedicated to advocating on behalf of Miami’s diverse museums and cultural institutions.
In addition to his philanthropic efforts, Scott maintains a thriving antitrust and complex litigation practice.
