Staff & Board Members
All of us at the Downtown Phoenix Partnership are dedicated to promoting the vibrancy of Downtown Phoenix—the center of activity for one of the most exciting downtowns in the country. Our enthusiastic staff, which includes 24 Downtown Phoenix Ambassadors, stands ready to assist you at any time. In addition, the Partnership is guided by a volunteer board of directors representing a diverse cross-section of downtown stakeholders, including property owners, tenants, merchants, cultural and nonprofit organizations, city and county management, and elected officials. Please feel free to contact us at any time with your comments, questions or suggestions.
