One of the primary tools used to meet the Partnership's goals is advocacy. On behalf of our members and the Downtown community, the Partnership holds strategic meetings with government officials, business leaders, community organizations, the media and other opinion leaders to enhance the business environment and quality of life in Downtown San Diego. Following are some of the major areas on which the Partnership's advocacy efforts are focused:
