Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts announced that Marybeth RehmanDittu has been named president of the organization for 2026-27. A longstanding and deeply involved member since 2009, RehmanDittu has held numerous leadership roles within the organization and in 2025 served as Benefit chair for the 60th Pasadena Showcase House of Design, one of the nation’s oldest, largest and most successful home and garden tours. 

“After having the privilege to help lead such a milestone year for our organization, I am honored to step into the role of president and continue our mission of supporting local music and arts programs,” she said.

RehmanDittu said she is inspired by the organization’s long history of community impact and is committed to advancing its legacy. 

“To date, we have contributed more than $28 million to support music and arts programs throughout our community. I am excited to continue expanding our outreach and strengthening our support for organizations that bring the arts to life,” she said. 

RehmanDittu joined Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts in 2009 and has held numerous roles, including serving as chair of Interior, Empty House Party, Premier Night Provisionals, Youth Concert, Gifts & Grants and Benefit chair. 

A resident of La Cañada Flintridge for 35 years, RehmanDittu’s grown sons and grandchildren all live nearby and she enjoys spending time with her family at the Lake and the beach – when she is not running Bila77, the women’s contemporary clothing business she cofounded in 1977.

The 62nd Pasadena Showcase House of Design will be open from April 18 – May 23. Golden tickets will go on sale in mid-November and timed entry tickets will be available beginning in early February.
