Join us for a virtual conversation between Raheem Manning, Night Time Economy Director, and Angela Val, President & CEO of Visit Philadelphia. Learn how Raheem will lead public engagement efforts to develop a plan and advocate for policies that support the City’s aspiration to attract and retain companies within its night-time economy. Manning will speak about the new role, implemented through a recommendation from the Arts and Culture Task Force, and how he plans to make Philadelphia a 24-hour tourist destination that is safe and inclusive.
The City Hall Connectors series seeks to improve Philadelphia’s business atmosphere and promote inclusive growth by offering exclusive engagement opportunities for members with the City’s elected and administrative officials. Attendees have a chance to hear from, interact, and build relationships with these important decision makers, as well as offer input on how Philadelphia can further enhance its economic climate.
This event is exclusive to Chamber members. Once your registration is received, we will share a calendar invitation with Zoom information the day before the meeting. Submit your questions for Raheem Manning to Maria Flores at mflores@chamberphl.com.
