Letter from the DLA President

First of all, it is time for the Downtown Loveland Association’s annual Board election which is in process now, and will culminate with the actual election and results at our annual community DLA networking event at the Rialto Theater on Thursday, March 18th at 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM.  The election is a very important and critical part of the success of the Downtown Loveland Association, and I really would appreciate you getting involved in that process.  If you have a desire to become a board member, please see the board member descriptions and board officer position descriptions on our web site at www.downtownloveland.org.  A strong membership led by a strong board will be paramount in 2010 as our initiatives are moved forward and are completed.  If being on the board just isn’t right for you at this moment, please take the time to attend the meeting, and vote.  Thanks.
