In Memoriam - Founding Director Miles E. Groves

was a media economist who had been involved in the downtown community for 12 years. He was a resident at The Pennsylvania for several years where he served on the board in many capacities, ranging from treasurer to president. He resided at the Cosmopolitan Condominium and served as president for the board. Miles was a board member of Downtown Housing Now. He regularly attended neighborhood meetings of the ANC, BID, and PQNA. Miles took the lead in 2006 to form this association, which he saw as a natural follow-up to Downtown Housing Now. He envisioned the DNA as an advocacy group focused on the interests of those who live downtown.
