The District Identity and Streetscape Improvement (DISI) Committee accounts for 09%
($125,000.00) of our annual budget and is responsible for all marketing and promotional
projects in our district. All events and publicity are managed through this committee. This
includes our monthly email the CBD Spotlight, our quarterly newsletter, and the design and
maintenance of our district websites. In 2009 the DISI committee planned and organized
Uptown Unveiled. The DISI committee also sponsors various events in the districts, most

notably of which include our annual contribution to the Art and Soul festival, First Fridays, Mid
Oak Arts, and Oakland's Annual Holiday Parade. This committee is also responsible for public
space development projects, which often are delegated to Tasks Forces.
