    According to Maria Galloway, SNBA Board President,  “Diesha is totally committed to the success of our members. She brings passion, enthusiasm, and creativity to the district.  She is extremely smart and hard working – and we can’t wait to get started working with her!”

    Diesha Condon served the Short North Business Association as the Membership Director last summer. Drawing upon that experience and the relationships she has formed with association members, Condon will transition smoothly into the Senior Director position.  Her enthusiasm and commitment are certain to raise the bar for the organization in ways that will be beneficial to the membership, community partners, and sponsors.

    “The Short North is Central Ohio’s most culturally rich, diverse and unique business district,andI celebrate the many accomplishments of the Short North Business Association and the Arts District businesses. Fostering our community and citywide relationships, creatively marketing our district and being a business resource for our members will bring us to new levels of member engagement.” She added, “While today’s challenges are great, support of the SNBA is so important because it sustains initiatives vital to the health of our Arts District businesses – parking and safety, way-finding kiosks and visitor guides, and the promotion of Gallery Hop and other special events.”

    Diesha has extensive experience in business-to-business and business-to-consumer sales and marketing. Insatiable curiosity and drive propelled her into leadership roles and sales training opportunities with local companies including Paycor Payroll Services, Columbus Symphony, and A.D. Farrow Co. She has experience as the Marketing Manager at ActionCOACH Business Coaching, which provided her a well-rounded education in best business practices and business development strategies. Her diverse background has prepared her for this multi-faceted position.

    “It is a privilege and honor to work with the SNBA team, Arts District businesses and the Board of Directors. We have important work to do, and I know with the combined leadership, experience, and enthusiasm of our members and supporters we’ll get the job done,” said Condon.

    The Short North Arts District is known as Columbus’ “art and soul”, pioneering the urban revitalization of Central Ohio. Visitors are invited to explore this area known for its eclectic art, dining, nightlife, fashion, home décor and unique gifts. Established by more than 100 experiential destinations that comprise the district, the Short North offers something of interest to all visitors.

    As stated in the New York Times, “…in the last few years, Columbus has undergone a transformation. By luring young professionals … the city has seen a flurry of downtown development – and gained an unexpected new profile as a Midwestern style capital.” –

    The following are comments of members of the Short North Business Association and Board of Directors on the selection of Diesha Condon.

    Diesha possesses an enthusiasm that is both sincere and addictive.  She is truly dedicated to the Short North and is relentless in her commitment to its forward development.  She has proven herself on numerous projects, most recently the Short North Gala in which her direct involvement led to an outstanding outcome. – Dave Weibel, Edward Jones.

    Diesha’s warmth and energy make others want to be a part of whatever she’s involved in.  Her hard work and dedication will be a huge asset for the SNBA.  She has integrity, professionalism and the dynamic personality to help take the SNBA to the next level. – Jeff Rinehart, La Fogata Grill.

    Diesha has proven herself a valuable member of the association and community.  Her charm and common sense on projects I’ve worked with her on prove she’s prepared for a role as diversified and important as the Senior Director.  – Jay Cotrell, Marcella’s Pizzeria & Wine Bar.

    I’ve been most impressed with Diesha.  She always takes the time to stop in to the various shops and shows interest in what we’re doing.  She understands the importance of marketing the district to increase foot-traffic, and I believe she’s committed to making a difference for the businesses here in the Short North.  – Mary McGolgan, Rose Bredl Flowers
