The theme of the 2019 Allegheny Together Annual Summit was 'Authentic Community: Claiming Your Identity.' The inagural Summit celebrated 12 years of providing assistance to municipalities in Allegheny County and focused on community identity through placemaking, programming, and development. Our keynote speaker was David Feehan, author of the book Design Downtown for Women – Men Will Follow, and former CEO & President of the International Downtown Association. David Feehan is a world-recognized expert in downtown revitalization. For more than forty years, he has provided leadership and management to successful downtown and business district organizations, founded and directed a technical assistance center for community development organizations and a public policy organization, authored numerous books and articles, and taught at two universities. Additional speakers included leaders from the county, foundations, non-profits, and municipalities who provided actionable advice for accessing resources and jumpstarting a downtown business district.
