The MDA believes that Strong Michigan Downtowns begin with strong Downtown Organizational Managers.  To that end, in 2020, the MDA launched its Professional Downtown Management Program (MiPDM). The Michigan Downtown Association created the program to provide training insixteen essential knowledge areas for downtown professionals and to elevate the stature and value of Michigan downtown professionals. The program is rigorous and challenging to ensure that the result, a certificate of completion, means that the recipient has gained the necessary skills and experience to be considered a well-rounded expert in downtown management.
