Vicki Schwartz, who formed the nonprofit organization as a first step in the process of finding the city an international sister city through Sister Cities International, introduced city and school officials to Peter Lowenstein, who will be the group’s vice president of international STEM programs.
A recent retiree from the space and telecommunications industry’s private sector, Lowenstein explained the organization will compile an inventory of community resources with the help of various community stakeholders. That list will help La Cañada move forward as it selects from among four potential sister cities worldwide.
Schwartz also announced the names of six La Cañada students recently selected to attend a four-day Sister Cities International Youth Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., in July. They are Amr Eissa and Lenny Pieroni from St. Francis High School; La Cañada High School students Kelly Steele, Luke Stefan and Naomi Stephan, and Flintridge Prep student Courtney Johnson.
