Yoo Hoo Vol 62 Issue 1, January 2020

New Los Altos Hills Mayor Michelle Wu will participate in our first luncheon of 2020 and present the state of the Town of Los Altos Hills. She will be joined by Carl Cahill, City Manager; Chief Tony Bowden & Chief Brian Glass of the Santa Clara County Fire Department; and Sarah Robustelli, Recreation Director to respond to questions submitted by members of the LAH Club.
​

It has been a tradition to invite the mayor and town management to our luncheon events to provide an update on current status of the Town regarding fiscal, planning & development issues, recreation opportunities, safety & security, and plans for future. 

This year because of the increased fire danger, we are pleased to have representatives from the Santa Clara County Fire Department— who are under contract with the Los Altos Hills County Fire District — participating to provide updates on fire protection measures for the community.

Recently, based on the recent tragic fires in Sonoma and northern CA the Town has adopted the highly recommended State building codes to protect homes from burning.

Information about Town issues will be discussed and the District will provide guidance on how you can implement fire protective measures in your home.

Luncheon reservation deadline is Friday, January 10th.

May 14, 2019

The theft of trade secrets is estimated to cost the United States economy $300 billion a year. Some of this could be prevented by practices as simple as ensuring locked shredding boxes are available or that badge access systems are monitored.  Most companies do not take all of the steps needed to protect their trade secrets, resulting in a significant loss of their intellectual property (IP).  Diane Gabl Kratz, a patent attorney and IP expert, addressed these concerns with members of the Los Altos Hills Club on May 14, 2019, at Fremont Hills Country Club. Gabl Kratz is Senior Intellectual Property Counsel at Seagate and manages part of the patent portfolio and related IP transactions.  Additionally, she is responsible for developing global trademark strategy for Seagate across 100 countries and for strengthening their brand recognition. 


Women are involved in all aspects of the tech industry in Silicon Valley.  Still, their numbers are low, and advancement can be difficult.  Gabl Kratz suggests taking every opportunity to network, increasing your training and skill set, cultivating your personal brand, being willing to move on from positions that are not a fit, and prioritizing your physical and mental health.

Diane Gabl Kratz’s presentation on her work in the field of intellectual property, as well as her comments about being a woman in the tech industry, are part of the Los Altos Hills Club members’ continuing interest in the issues of women working in science and technology in Silicon Valley.

The Los Altos Hills Club is delighted to present attorney Diane Gabl Kratz at our May 14th Luncheon Meeting. Diane will address current women’s issues in the high-tech world reflecting on her personal experience in personal branding and the high-tech patent process.
