Last Thursday, the Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA) announced additions to its Board of Directors. Among those newly appointed include Mana Fashion Services Managing Director, Martu Freeman-Parker, marking Mana Common’s first-ever seat on the board. The newly appointed Board of Directors were sworn in at a special meeting, including the City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and City of Miami Commissioner Manolo Reyes.
The new additions to our board of directors are stewards of the community who live and breathe Downtown Miami and are committed to seeing the area reach its full potential.
— Manolo Reyes, Commissioner & Miami DDA Chairman, City of Miami
Martu was chosen from a highly competitive pool of candidates, each with a significantly influential presence in Downtown Miami. The board’s expansion reflects the diversity of the neighborhood’s business community and rapid-growing population.
