In case you haven’t noticed, getDowntown has helped to bring Zipcars to downtown Ann Arbor.  Over the summer, we’ll be at a bunch of different events to spread the word about Zipcar, give out free swag and give you the opportunity to win a FREE one-year membership.

The latest winner of the drawing for a Zipcar Membership is Steve Swaney. Steve, please send an email to info@getdowntown.org so we can tell you how to get your free membership.

To everyone else:

If you aren’t our fan on Facebook, get with the program!  As soon as the Zipcar Ann Arbor Facebook page reaches 50 fans we’ll be giving away more one-year Zipcar memberships and other crazy prizes and swag, so stay tuned!  Also, keep your eyes out for more summer events where you can say hello to your Zipcar friends AND for more chances to win a one-year membership.

We’ll see you next at the Rolling Sculpture Car Show on July 10th!  And don’t miss us at the Townie Party on July 13th.  Get more details on our Facebook page!

Thanks for being so great Ann Arbor!

getDowntown is hiring!

Filed under: general info,news — Nancy Shore @ 8:45 am

Think you have what it takes to work for getDowntown?  Here’s your opportunity to prove it:

getDowntown Program Employee Services Coordinator
The getDowntown Program is looking for a full time hard working and enthusiastic people-centered Employee Services Coordinator.

The Employee Services Coordinator will energetically and skillfully promote, market and coordinate getDowntown’s programs and services to downtown Ann Arbor employees. This is a small office and the ideal candidate will work to support the getDowntown program Director and program goals. This includes a variety of activities such as answering commuting questions over phone or email, conducting engaging commuting presentations, and writing creative and compelling blog posts on employee-focused commuting topics.

A background in Marketing and Communications, Customer Service, or Social Work is preferred. Must be able to juggle many projects at once and embrace a job that includes a great number of administrative tasks (like delivering go!passes, doing mailings, coordinating events and overseeing bike locker rentals) as well as creative projects that involve new strategies and incentives to encourage people to change their commuting behavior.

Of course our ideal candidate is someone who “walks the walk” (by using sustainable transportation) and can therefore talk more knowledgably and enthusiastically about the many transportation options available to downtown Ann Arbor workers.

Please send a cover letter and resume, including salary expectations, to info@getdowntown.org with “getDowntown Job” in the subject line. No phone calls, faxes or snail mail, please. Deadline for submitting a job application is July 24, 2009 at 5pm.
