The Downtown Akron Partnership (DAP) Emerging Leaders was founded in 2010 to assist in the efforts of retaining young professionals and enhancing DAP's mission of building and promoting a vibrant, valuable Downtown.
The Emerging Leaders includes members 35 years of age and younger, and is comprised of representatives from a variety of businesses and organizations. The Emerging Leaders aims to increase the number of people to invest socially and economically in Downtown within this demographic, making Downtown a more appealing place to live, work and play all year round.
The Emerging Leaders currently have three projects in the works for 2013: MyAkron, Downtown Akron Restaurant Week and Last Night.
