Ascend Pinnacle Mixer (NACD PSW Symposium)

Ascend Pinnacle holds a networking mixer on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:00 PM at Jonathan Club, 545 South Figueroa Street in Downtown Los Angeles. The listing pairs the night with the NACD Pacific Southwest Symposium. NACD is the National Association of Corporate Directors, the U.S. membership body for board directors and governance professionals. The host description is a room for board directors and senior leaders to exchange perspectives on governance and leadership topics. Online registration is available through November 12 on the Ascend calendar.

Ascend Pinnacle sits inside Ascend's senior-leader track for current and aspiring corporate directors, alongside programs such as the Board Leadership Summit and the Aspiring Directors Institute. This is narrower than Ascend LA Metro's all-levels IAG in Culver City five days earlier, and narrower than Ascend OC's Tustin IAG the following week. Contact on the page is Sharisse Guisao at sharisse.guisao@ascendleadership.org or 717-577-2455. The public card does not print a ticket price; read the checkout and any eligibility gate before you buy or forward the link to a peer.

Go if you already sit on a board, are within senior executive range for a director conversation, or have been told this Pinnacle room is the right door. Skip it if you needed a general Ascend chapter mixer, a junior networking hour, or NAPABA Convention programming the same week Downtown. Those pull different badges and different conversations. A title mismatch at the door wastes a Thursday evening.

Jonathan Club is Downtown on Figueroa, a short walk from 7th Street / Metro Center if you are already on rail, and a slow drive from the Westside at 5:30. Club entry rules can be strict; follow the confirmation email for guest policy, ID, and dress. Screenshot registration. If the NACD symposium badge is a separate purchase, do not assume one Ascend ticket covers both.
