NorthPark Center is pleased to announce its 2019 Ambassadors. First conceptualized by Nancy A. Nasher and Kimberly Schlegel Whitman in 2017, the program is an extension of the shopping center’s “Fifty Years of Giving” anniversary celebration in 2015. The 13 ambassadors were hand-selected for their philanthropic contributions in a broad range of areas. Each year-long ambassadorship offers the opportunity to partner with NorthPark and its retailers for various events and initiatives to benefit their respective charitable organization.

To formally announce this year’s Ambassadors, NorthPark partnered with PaperCity for a dedicated section in the January 2019 issue, as well as digital features to be published throughout the year. A special Ambassador portrait exhibition will be on view at the shopping center February 1-March 3, 2019, on Level One between Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.
