Chancellor Gilliam, other leaders to discuss future of downtown Greensboro

Posted on February 23, 2021

“Together Towards Tomorrow” is an online event taking place on Mar. 4, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., and will feature a panel discussion with three of the Greensboro community’s leading experts in business, healthcare, and education:

  • Franklin Gilliam, Jr. | Chancellor, UNC Greensboro
  • Scott Baxter | President & CEO, Kontoor Brands, Inc
  • Mary Jo Cagle | Chief Operating Officer, Cone Health

“We wanted our annual meeting to focus on what’s next,” says Zack Matheny, President and CEO of Downtown Greensboro, Inc (DGI). “The agenda we are featuring will do just that, and really address what our community might expect in the coming months and years post-COVID19.”

“Together Towards Tomorrow” will also feature Chris Banyon, who will present the new focus of DGI’s Vision 2030 plan, which was shifted to better reflect the changing dynamics of the world following the pandemic.

“When we first presented our Vision 2030 plan last year, it was right before the pandemic struck,” Matheny says. “It is important for us to take the pulse of the people to make sure our priorities are still aligned with the community’s wants post-pandemic.”

“Together Towards Tomorrow” is a free online event. To receive a meeting link, participants are asked to register by visiting the event website.
