What does leadership look like when it reaches an entire city?​

This year, Kathryn Ott Lovell helped Philadelphia welcome the world — through America's 250th, the FIFA World Cup, and the MLB All-Star Game, and nearly 1.4 million visitors. And she made sure the celebration reached beyond Center City into
neighborhoods across the city.​

On October 15, Center City Business Association is proud to honor her at the Celebration of Impact.

And you're invited. Register here
