Welcome Downtown!

For many of you, this is my first opportunity to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Whitney Stohr, and I am the new Executive Director of Selah Downtown Association (SDA).

My primary role is to lead and direct the organization and to coordinate with SDA's four active committees (i.e. Design, Economic Restructuring, Organization, and Promotion), each comprised of volunteers and community members interested in helping to develop and revitalize downtown Selah, to help make our vision for Selah a reality. I am thrilled to take on this role and look forward to working with each and every one of you.

SDA has several events and activities planned in the upcoming months, which I will share with you regularly in our monthly newsletters. I invite you to share these events and encourage the participation of others. By working together, we can transform our community and achieve a lasting impact on our downtown and all of Selah.

Sincerely,

Whitney Stohr
Executive Director
