Pasadena Chamber To Honor Tournament Of Roses President At Annual Breakfast

The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, a 135-year-old organization serving more than 1,250 members, will honor Tournament Of Roses Association President Edward Morales at its annual President’s Breakfast on Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Hilton Pasadena.

Morales will be discussing the 2025 Tournament of Roses and the theme, “Best Day Ever!” beginning at 7:30 a.m.

Special guests at the gathering will include the Rose Queen and Royal Court, alongside past Tournament presidents and prominent community and civic leaders from the Pasadena area.

Morales, who joined the Tournament of Roses in 1992, has served on numerous committees in the Association, including TV and Radio, Community Relations, Membership, and Decorating Places. His extensive committee experience also includes leadership roles in Queen and Court, Media Operations and Post Parade before joining the Tournament’s Board of Directors in 2011.

A partner at the Law Offices of Borton Petrini, LLP, Morales graduated from Don Bosco Technical Institute before earning his undergraduate degree from UCLA and Juris Doctorate from Loyola Law School.

The San Gabriel native, who previously served as the 66th President of the Pasadena Jaycees, now resides in Pasadena with his wife Lisa and their children, Lainey and Jessie.

Individual tickets for the Chamber event are $90, while corporate tables of ten are available for $1,000, including table signage and program recognition during the festivities.
