The Downtown Little Rock Partnership on Friday announced Gabe Holmstrom as its new executive director.
“I am delighted that Gabe has accepted our offer as executive director and will start on Monday, April 6,” said Susie Smith, president of the DLRP Board of Directors. “He steps into his new position at a time of tremendous growth downtown.
“We are confident that he will continue to bring the excellence in Partnership leadership that we have come to expect,” she said.
