Downtown Denver Emerging Leadership

About the Program

Application - 2009 application now available!



About the Program
The Downtown Denver Leadership Program provides an intense immersion in urban issues, policies and practices, and involves a project that challenges the participants' ability to research, analyze and collaborate. The Downtown Denver Leadership Program (DDLP) has three goals:

  • Demonstrate the importance of Downtown Denver as it relates to the metro area.
  • Inspire DDLP participants with the opportunities and challenges that exist in a Downtown environment.
  • Engage them in creating the Downtown Denver of the future.

     "What an outstanding array of guest speakers! We had the opportunity to meet several community leaders, and hear their opinions and ideas about issues that affect Denver. It's very energizing to be face-to-face with the people who are planning and designing Denver's future - and the Downtown Denver Partnership is right in the middle of all of it."
