Board of Directors
The Board of Directors meets the third Wednesday of every even-numbered month at 4 p.m. The Executive Committee meets regularly on the first Thursday of each month at 8 a.m.
Covering a geographic area that includes two (Business and Property) Improvement Districts and over 150-square blocks serving all Downtown stakeholders, the DTLB Alliance is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of individuals that represent property and business owners, residents and community partners.
Between the Board of Directors and its various committees, over 70 DTLB stakeholders volunteer their time to improve the urban center’s community. The direct inclusion of members from the diverse constituencies of DTLB permits the Alliance to better serve interests, address current issues and implement solutions.
