Come for the meeting, stay for the nibbles, drinks and DJ’d music!

Make your reservations now!

DANA is looking to recognize the very best (and also shed light on the worst) in Downtown Austin to help encourage a vibrant urban environment for our city and to call out some of the aspects of downtown that hinder us from getting to that greater vision.

Nominations can be of buildings, policies or other aspects of living downtown.

Also, we would like to request nominations for a downtowner who works hard to make a difference in our urban community. It is named in honor of our friend, former Board Member and legal advisor, David Weaver, who contributed greatly to this organization before sadly passing away.

Submit your nominations online here by end of day on Friday, February 5th!

All submissions will be compiled anonymously and voted on by the Board at the February Board retreat. Awards will be given out at this year’s annual meeting in February!

Urban Light Award
What aspect of downtown points us towards a brighter future?

Urban Blight Award
What aspect of downtown, a recent project or a long lingering issue is representative of what we hope to avoid in Austin’s Urban Center?

David Weaver Memorial Award for Individual Service
Who is selflessly making a difference for DANA and Downtown?

Thank you for being involved in DANA!

The DANA Board of Directors will be transitioning this coming February. Several Board Members are rotating off and qualified candidates are sought for their replacements

If you or someone you know is interested in getting involved in what’s going on in downtown Austin, becoming a member of the DANA Board is a great way have a real impact on the future of downtown.

Feel free to speak with any DANA Board Member about your interest, or contact info@downtownaustin.org.
