Description
2021 Speaker Series
Sponsored by:
Richardson IQ®
Doug McDonald
Strategic Initiatives Manager
City of Richardson
About the program:
Four years ago, a task force of civic leaders, chamber leaders and property owners in the East Collins/Arapaho area began creating a vision for the next generation of innovation that would be in the heart of the Telecom Corridor®. Today, we know this area as the Richardson IQ® where innovation will foster growth, attract and retain jobs, and encourage collaboration. Several district announcements have been made, including UT Dallas planting a second flag in Richardson in The IQ®. Find out more about the plan for how The IQ® will become the premier tech hub in Texas.
About the speaker:
Doug is the Manager of Strategic Initiatives for the City of Richardson, where he manages and coordinates specific assigned projects and programs, which may include complex development and redevelopment projects, economic development activities, public/private partnerships, policy and ordinance development, and interdepartmental strategic plans and studies. Over the past three years, Doug has led City redevelopment efforts in the Richardson CORE and Richardson IQ®.
In May, Doug graduated from Leadership Richardson where he was a member of Class 36, known as the COVIDians.
