Jennifer Scripps, a Dallas native and long-time civic leader, joined Downtown Dallas, Inc. as president and CEO in April 2022. She took the helm of the 90-employee organization at a time when Downtown Dallas is experiencing historic growth, including $6 billion in planned or ongoing development, thousands of new residents, and a string of high-profile corporate relocations. Jennifer’s focus is on guiding DDI’s strategic 360 Plan and overseeing major projects expected to get underway in the coming years, including Field Street District on the north, One Newpark to the south and the nearby redevelopment of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, to name a few. In her first year as CEO, DDI was one of the leaders in a city-wide coalition that championed a $1.5 billion ballot initiative to fund the convention center expansion and major improvements to Fair Park. Dallas voters approved the measure in a landslide. Jennifer previously served for six years as the director of the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture.
