Downtown | Community Organizing
Jess Wallace is the Office Administrator for the Downtown Cleveland Alliance (DCA), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to creating a vibrant city center by enhancing the pedestrian experience and attracting more investment into Downtown Cleveland. After becoming a volunteer for the DCA City Advocates Young Professionals Board in 2018, Jess realized that community building and engagement was her mission. Shortly thereafter, she became involved with Downtown Cleveland Residents where she now sits on the board as Civic Director. She is also a public transit and accessibility advocate who recently became the Vice Chair for Clevelanders for Public Transit and has served on the sounding board for Barrier-Free Cleveland. Jess plans to create a Master Plan to better engage the Downtown Cleveland residential community that will promote inclusivity and evoke a sense of belonging to those who live there.
