Committees

The Board can form committees as needed, and has agreed to establish committees to align with the annual goals of the organization.  The standing committees include:

  • Executive Committee – This is a standing committee that includes the officers of the organization (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Presidents Emeritus).  It is the prime group to carry out the advocacy role of the organization, especially in interfacing with the City of Sarasota and City Commission.

These committees are formed to advance specific annual goals and include:

  • Homeless Committee – This committee is targeted to work with the City of Sarasota staff and other local organizations to support efforts to reduce the homeless populations in Sarasota.
  • Greenspace Committee – This committee focus is on issues related to green spaces, public parks, and public art in downtown Sarasota.

  • Zoning Code Committee – This committee focus is on programs to work with the DSCA Member condominiums, City of Sarasota staff, and other local organizations to review experiences with the Zoning Code as it relates to Land Development Applications and the impacts of Administrative Review and Public Hearing processes.
  • Associate & Events Committee – This committee focus is to plan and organize educational forums and other related events to address key issues important to our members, and to gain support of said events and provide exposure for Associate Member services.
  • Arts & Cultural Committee – This committee is formed to work with DSCA Member organizations, the Downtown Sarasota residents, City of Sarasota staff and other local arts organizations to encourage residents and businesses to take an interest in, engage in the public discussion of such activities, collaborate on, and take public positions on changes and new projects in the arts.
