Walking Downtown Tacoma with the Business Leadership Academy

[10/4/22] The 44th Annual Business Leadership Academy, a program of the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber and Pacific Lutheran University, is currently taking place. This program gives emerging community leaders a chance to engage with the Pierce County business community, develop leadership skills, and connect to mentorship opportunities. Last Thursday, the 2022 cohort of the Business Leadership Academy got to experience the annual Downtown Tacoma Walking Tour, a highlight of the program.

The tour was led by David Schroedel, vice president of the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber and executive director of the Downtown Tacoma Partnership. Along the way, Leadership Academy participants got to meet and greet with leaders of local business and industry and view some of the most important and exciting storefronts and properties in Downtown Tacoma. The stops on this year's tour included The Method Skateboards and Coffee, TOTE Maritime, Courthouse Square, InterUrban Development, McCallum & Sons Whisky Co., and Spaceworks Tacoma.
