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.
