Innovate Pasadena Leaders Host Fall Party

The Leadership Council of Innovate Pasadena held its Fall Cocktail Party for members and invited guests recently at the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena. Leadership Council members are high-level leaders from the city’s business and civic communities who support Innovate Pasadena’s dual mission to build awareness for Pasadena as a center of design, technology and innovation, and to bring people, companies and capital to the region. Guests heard remarks from Leadership Council co-chairs Bill Bogaard and Harvey Knell, and I.P. Board President Mike Giardello. The Carnegie Observatories director, John Mulchaey, then took the group on a behind-the-scenes tour highlighting the Observatories’ rich history and new projects. In his opening comments, Bogaard called the Carnegie Observatories one of Pasadena’s “hidden treasures.”
