DSA Access Series Returns to In-Person Event

We’re happy to share that our DSA Access series — formally Virtual Access — has returned to an in-person format for members only. Based on your feedback, we’ve moved off Zoom and into a brand-new event space at the U.S. Bank Center in the heart of downtown.

The spring series kicked off on March 25 and featured three leaders recently named to head up major downtown institutions and attractions: Jennifer LeMaster, president & CEO of the Seattle Convention Center; Rachel Ligtenberg, executive director of Pike Place Market PDA; and Scott Stulen, director & CEO of the Seattle Art Museum. Moderated by KIRO Newsradio host and historian Feliks Banel, the panel discussed what drew them to their roles, their upcoming plans for their organizations and more.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to present our next DSA Access on April 30. Join us for an important conversation between DSA President & CEO Jon Scholes and new Seattle Police Department Chief Shon Barnes. This will be an opportunity to hear directly from Barnes about his vision for public safety in downtown Seattle and engage in a discussion about the challenges and opportunities facing our city. Registration will open in April. Keep an eye on your inbox.
