Downtown Memphis Commission
Patteron
Terence Patterson was selected today as the new president & CEO of the Downtown Memphis Commission [DMC].
The announcement comes after a months-long hunt to replace current president Paul Morris. He will leave at the end of the year to work for his father’s business, Jack Morris Auto Glass.
Patterson was selected after a national and local search that yielded more than 50 candidates.
Patterson is a native Memphian, a Harvard graduate with a Master of Business Adminstration from Northwestern, where he also earned his law degree. He is the current treasurer of the DMC’s Center City Development Committee and has worked with the DMC for many years.
He currently works as the program director for education for the Hyde Family Foundation.
“Patterson’s experience in working with complicated financial and business transactions and with both the public and private sectors, prepares him well to lead this public-private partnership organization,” read a statement from the DMC.
