Someone you should know
Someone you should know

As part of our continuing effort to highlight interesting people in the community, the River News is bringing readers a periodic feature entitled Someone You Should Know. Our reporters are compiling short profiles of individuals who are making valuable contributions to the community through their employment or volunteer work. Next up is DRI executive director Maggie Steffen.

RN: Please explain your job?

MS: We're a non-profit to advocate for and promote the downtown. We do everyting from design aspects to putting on events and helping downtown landlords find renters. We have four committees: organization, design, economic restructuring, and promotion.

RN: How long have you held this job?

MS: Three years.

RN: What is your favorite part of the job?

MS: It's such a diverse job, I'm never without something to do. My favorite part is when someone without a vested interest in the downtown comes forward and helps, or the general support of the community.

RN: What is the biggest misconception about the job?

MS: The lack of understanding of what DRI, Inc. is or what we're involved with.

RN: What do you like to do in your spare time?

MS: I like everything from flowers to interior decorating, riding our motorcycle and visiting our cabin.
