Daniel Tellalian shares valuable lessons learned from organizing efforts to establish the Los Angeles River as the heart of a healthy, vibrant and resilient region.

Mr. Tellalian is the founder and CEO of Angel City Advisors. He served as a founding board member and 3-term Chair of the Los Angeles River Revitalization Corporation, now RiverLA (www.riverla.org).

This presentation, organized by Downtown Grand Rapids Inc and numerous partners, was part of a local effort to explore how other communities have successfully organized around, and thoughtfully leveraged, their river restoration and revitalization investments to catalyze neighborhood improvement, expand opportunity and build community.

The lessons and learning help to inform and guide the multi-faceted work of designing a community-driven organizational framework for executing on the local vision for a restored and revitalized Grand River flowing through our urban core.

The audience is comprised of elected, appointed, staff and volunteer leaders from Kent County, the City of Grand Rapids, the Downtown Development Authority, Grand Rapids Whitewater, Downtown Grand Rapids Inc., the philanthropic community and others.

The presentation occurred at the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce on Sept. 4, 2019.
