The organization, which focuses on developing effective leaders to drive positive change in the Pasadena area, welcomed individuals from various sectors last Thursday.

The new Board members include Roberto Alvarez, Assistant Deputy to Supervisor Kathryn Barger, and Carol Calandra, Interim Dean of Student Wellness and Support Services at Pasadena City College.

Each of these new members brings unique expertise to the organization’s mission, said Board Chair Louis Teran.

“We are excited to welcome these exceptional leaders to our Board,” Teran said. “Their diverse backgrounds and expertise will enhance our efforts to empower individuals in our community, promote civic engagement, and cultivate a new generation of leaders dedicated to making a difference in Pasadena.”

Leadership Pasadena aims to provide leadership training and development opportunities that inspire active, informed, and engaged citizens. The organization also focuses on connecting leaders for collaboration on civic and community projects benefiting the entire Pasadena area.
