On behalf of the WPB DNA Board of Directors, Happy New Year! The WPB Downtown Neighborhood Association finished 2022 strong with an awesome Holiday Party at the AKA West Palm where over 160 people became paid supporting members. We can't help but feel the excitement in this community as we see more residents wanting to get involved and local businesses and government interested in joining forces with the downtown residents!

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

I am excited to be serving as your 2023 DNA president. I want to work for you to enhance our quality of life by strengthening the collaboration between downtown residents, government, and businesses through advocacy, social interaction and information. As I meet with local leaders, I am very encouraged to hear that they all want to know what is on the minds of our residents and how they can best serve you!

As I begin this journey, I want to thank Cynthia Nalley for her 4 years of service as the President of the DNA.  She worked tirelessly to advocate for important beautification and safety projects and her passion to build a strong DNA was evident.  I am thrilled that she is continuing her service to the DNA in the role of Vice President.  

See you at our next event!

Sitima Fowler, WPB DNA President
