DBBA Weekly Update | 3/18/2021

Most of our efforts this week went into four main projects:

1. Renewing the Downtown Bend EID
2. Updating our bylaws
3. Getting bids for decorating Downtown Bend for the holidays
4. Selling directory kiosk ads and listings

All of these projects are really important, and I'll share with you a little bit about why they are so important.  Renewing the Downtown Bend EID means that we get to stay in business and keep offering our great services!  To learn more about the 2021 EID renewal, click here.  To learn about our scope of work, click here. 
​Updating our Bylaws was really important because we made changes to allow for more specific expertise in on the DBBA board.  By changing the bylaws to allow for community members outside of the EID to serve on our board, we can now participate in board recruitment for specific needs that our organization has.  
Creating Downtown Bend as THE Central Oregon holiday experience is one of our goals, so we are getting bids from professional decorating companies and brainstorming ways to fund a large-scale project.
Selling directory kiosks ads is important because not only does it help direct traffic into our local businesses, but it also allows us to create the revenue to continue to invest in Downtown Bend's economic vitality.  

​.. and (of course!) we continued all of daily services with excellence and pride!
