The San Leandro Downtown Association meets once monthly, the 4th Friday of each month, at the Englander, from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. 

The meetings provide all businesses with the opportunity to fast track concerns through City Hall, participate in the planning of Downtown Events, leverage marketing through special events, a presence on the website, and a Police Department representative attends our monthly meetings, making themselves available to hear our feedback and concerns.  To maximize your membership, it is recommended that you volunteer at least once per year at one of our Events, wearing your logo gear. This includes the very popular 4th Wednesday Wine Tasting Downtown Association Booth during the Farmers’ Market.

During meetings, we encourage all members to ask for advice, share ideas and partner to build commerce in our downtown.

 

TESTIMONIAL

Since joining the San Leandro Downtown Association I've volunteered for Margarita Wednesday 3 times. I've been able to speak to many San Leandro residents and promote my business. Just coming out for two short hours on three different days has generated over $2,500.00 of new business for my office. It has also given many of my current patients a chance to see that I am active in the San Leandro community. Volunteering for the many events that SLDA puts on for the San Leandro community is a wonderful way to get your business name out there. People remember you and they definitely patronize your place of business!
