Online Program

Jon Scholes is the President and CEO of the Downtown Seattle Association. He believes the health of downtown Seattle is critical to a healthy city and region. Jon’s passion for taking on big issues is reflected in his nearly 20 years of work in nonprofit advocacy, local government, regional policy, and senior positions on political campaigns. At DSA, he leads a diverse team focused on creating a healthy, vibrant, and inviting downtown.

On May 6, Jon will join us to discuss the current state of downtown and the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak and resulting economic crisis on the people who live and work there. We will also hear about the future of downtown Seattle given the many changes underway both before and because of COVID-19.
