“My Tale of Two Cities"
This Sunday I will be heading to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where our film, “My Tale of Two Cities” will be shown at a keynote session of the 55th Annual Convention of the International Downtown Association, representing over 650 downtown organizations from around the world. We have been asked to show the film there because the organizers felt that the movie, a “funny and heartfelt” comeback story about my hometown of Pittsburgh-- a once great industrial giant, which built America with its steel, conquered polio, and invented everything from aluminum to the Big Mac, and is now being challenged to reinvent itself for a new age-- might have something to say to a lot of cities (and their downtowns) that now are facing similar struggles.
A Welcome From IDA's CEO Kit Cramer
Monday, July 6, 2009
I am thrilled to be on board as president of IDA. What a great opportunity to support our members in developing thriving center cities around the world!
By way of introduction I wanted to give you a little more information about my background. For the last 16 years I’ve worked with the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce in a variety of senior management roles. As an economic developer/recruiter I helped attract and retain businesses for Charlotte. My public policy skills were honed as an advocate for K-12, workforce development and higher education. It was also my honor to have been elected as an at-large member of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Board of Education where I served as vice chairman during my tenure.
My last role at the chamber was as executive director of member value, where I worked with the Chamber’s seven geographic chapters as well as their diversity and inclusion groups.
