Taite Pryor has joined the Kent Downtown Partnership as an administrative assistant.

Pryor will work closely with KDP executive director Barbara Smith on marketing strategies, event planning and committee meetings, in addition to administrative and receptionist duties.

“After interviewing several candidates, I felt that Taite would bring both the office skills and customer service skills that KDP needs to move forward with our mission,” Smith said. “Her first task was to take a tour with me through the Kent Historic District to meet some of our downtown business owners. I’m confident that she will be a great addition to our team.”

Pryor comes to KDP from Searchlight Systems, a litigation support company in Seattle’s Pioneer Square, where she helped to maintain and manage the evidential database to support legal cases for the City of Seattle. She is a recent graduate of Suffolk University with a bachelor’s degree in global business and marketing.

KDP is a private, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to serving and promoting the downtown Kent business community welcomes
