On December 7th, we hosted our Annual Gala: Business is Roaring in Pasadena, at Fountainblu Event Centers
This year, we were excited to honor all the great work that has been done. We started off the night by announcing our 2023 Citizen of the Year, Roy D. Mease. This award is always a complete surprise to the recipient, and we enjoy surprising them by inviting their family and dear friends to be a part of the celebration.
This special night also allows us the opportunity to honor our Board of Directors, and all the work they do for us over their terms. We were able to hear remarks from our outgoing chairman, Dr. Allatia Harris of San Jacinto College, as well as our incoming chairman, Kicker Cardenas of Kicker Insures Me Agency.
Another huge part of the program is celebrating the graduating class of IMPACT Pasadena. As of today, we have over 55 local leaders who have graduated from this program. We are excited to see all the amazing things they accomplish, and are ready to meet the next cohort, which we will begin accepting applications this coming summer.
We want to sincerely thank all of our members for their continued investment into the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. Because of your partnership, we are able to continue the good work we do each year, and help make Pasadena the greatest city on earth!
