Downtown Ambassadors Program
The city has handed this program over to the capable hands of the DBA and we are extending their scope to include marketing. Not only are downtown ambassadors the friendly eyes and ears on the streets, they will be tweeting their whereabouts and what's happening, helping market the area by tweeting from the streets. These folks are going to be informative for visitors to the city, and will be armed with downtown maps to shop with ease.
