URBAN MARKETPLACE COMMITTEE CHAIR
The event features a dynamic format including “roundtable” discussions that offer direct access to decision-makers. Representatives of the public sector (i.e., transportation, housing, and so forth), the design and planning community, community advocates, small business owners, neighborhood-focused developers, and others all interact with each other and attendees so that ideas and connections ignite.
The event motto—“make a deal, make a difference,” coined by commercial broker and poet Ed Rosenthal at the 2000 inaugural Urban Marketplace—expresses this mission. And “make a deal, make a difference” has been the event’s rallying cry ever since. Leaders gathered at this event not only have the means to improve communities of color and lower income, they also bring their vision and sense of responsibility in the crucial realm of housing.
