DLBA President & CEO Search

Downtown Long Beach Alliance (DLBA) is seeking a visionary and transformative leader to serve as its next President & CEO. This is the first time in over 25 years this opportunity has been available, and the leadership transition comes at a pivotal moment as DLBA is celebrating its 85th year of exceptional service to the Downtown Long Beach community.

The successful candidate will bring a genuine interest and deep commitment to DLBA’s mission and will embody a caring, inclusive, and facilitative leadership style that inspires and empowers staff and volunteers, encourages collaboration, and fosters innovation. This leader will have demonstrated ability in organizational administration and will bring an interest in the economic and cultural climate of Downtown Long Beach. Prior experience with a property-based improvement or assessment district (PBID/PBAD) is helpful, but not required.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a proven leader to build on the organization’s rich history, foster mission and community alignment, inspire and enact collaborative change, and help the Downtown Long Beach community realize DLBA’s vision of Downtown as the “thriving urban center of Long Beach, embodying and celebrating the region’s diversity, innovation, and adaptability.”
