Congratulations to City of Concord Downtown Program Manager, Lisa Potvin-Roeber, CFEE, for winning the Convener award at the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce's 87th Annual Board of Directors Installation & Awards Luncheon yesterday!     Lisa was recognized for her extraordinary work of convening the community and supporting businesses. Community events such as Music & Market brings thousands of people each week to Todos Santos Plaza, and the Mayor's Sing-along and Tree Lighting sets the holiday spirit. She also oversees permits for other organizations interested in hosting events in Concord, totaling around 120 event days per year.     Lisa works closely with various City of Concord departments such as Public Works and the Police Department to ensure all permitted events run smoothly and provide the best environment for all to enjoy. Last year, she implemented a special event permit platform, eProval, to ensure efficient communications with all departments and event organizers for each approved event.     Congratulations to Lisa for all she does to create a community where people want to gather!
