Economic Diversification

Contact: bmeenaghan@BBandT.com 

The Economic Diversification Committee helps strengthen and retain existing independent businesses by learning and sharing information about the existing assets, challenges and needs of our local business community; the existing needs and wants of existing and potential customers of our local businesses; and facilitating collaboration and cross promotion among businesses.

We have completed surveys of local businesses and customers and a business packet for prospective businesses, and in May 2006 are holding our first educational mixer for local businesses, where they can interact with fellow business owners and access useful information about local resources, trends and opportunities. Our first mixer is aimed at Adams Morgan's daytime businesses.

We work to help increase daytime traffic by distributing and marketing our Lunch Directory and by promoting our co-sponsorship of Western Market.

JOIN US! Help us plan future business mixers, analyze or promote survey results, write articles, collect information by, about or of interest to local businesses.

The Economic Diversification Committee meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m (Location TBA)

To volunteer for this committee, send us an email or use the Volunteer form.
