BACK TO BUSINESS
A
fter a two-year hiatus, Pasadena, along with Keck Medicine of USC, hosted its annual Women in Business Luncheon at NOOR on June 2. This year’s exuberant return fostered connections and community spirit while highlighting the accomplishments of women in our region. The event included a networking hour with complimentary headshots provided by Cadillac, a shoppable Clare V. mini boutique, and the opportunity to connect with US Bank. After mixing and mingling, attendees sat down to a catered lunch
by NOOR and bite-sized “bundtinis” from Nothing Bundt Cakes, then listened to welcoming messages from Pasadena’s publisher Shelby J. Russell and Shawn Sheffield, Keck Medicine of USC’s chief strategy officer. A Q&A session moderated by NBC Los Angeles’ California Live co-host Danielle Nottingham featured panelists Kristin McGrath, executive director of the Pasadena Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Lisette Gaviña Lopez, chairman of the board and managing director of F. Gaviña and Sons, parent company of Don Francisco’s Coffee. — S A R A S M O L A
