DIVERSITY
The DNA is comprised of all walks of people from all parts of Downtown Memphis. We embrace all our neighbors from the residential north and south, the urban core, and the suburban Island. We welcome homeowners and renters, professionals and students, workaholics and retirees, and everyone in between. We are one community with one goal - a unified voice of Downtowners working together to better our Downtown.
CIVIC MINDSET
The DNA is not a political group, but is a civic group. We work with our city leaders on confronting Downtown issues and do not focus on partisanship. We are all in the same community, regardless of what may be our ideologies.
TRANSPARENCY
This is YOUR DNA, and as such we work to represent your needs. There are no back-room deals at DNA; we encourage public meetings, public displays, and public involvement to address the issues affecting Downtown.
INVOLVEMENT
We get involved at DNA. From volunteering to help clean litter off the streets to sitting on other Downtown-focused boards and commissions, DNA is involved in the Downtown Community.
NETWORKING AT MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS
DNA offers unique opportunities to meet people you would never have the time to otherwise. We offer a wide variety of programs for a chance to bring everyone together. On the fourth Tuesday of every month, DNA hosts a membership meeting at a local business, a new development, or an event space. Often, we host city leaders to come speak and answer questions. We've hosted elected officials, prominent CEOs, celebrities and other local leaders. You can find details on our next member meeting on our events section (located at top of the page/navigation bar) or our facebook page!
Attendance is free for members and $20 for guests.
Food & Beverages provided at each meeting.
