Clifton Davis Resigns

On behalf of Welcome America inc., we would like to thank Clifton Davis for his hard work and dedication over the last 2 years.

"I want to take this opportunity to thank Clifton for his hard work and dedication to Welcome America,” said Mayor Nutter. “I wish him the best of success in his future pursuits.”

Mr. Davis was appointed in 2006 to lead Welcome America, Inc., which produces the Independence Day celebrations featuring concerts, fireworks, parades, neighborhood events and educational programs.

“I have truly enjoyed working with my staff and the many leaders of key organizations in the hospitality industry of Philadelphia, and I value the relationships we have built over the years,” Mr. Davis said in a letter to Mayor Nutter. “I feel extremely proud of the two Sunoco Welcome America! Festivals we have had the pleasure of helping to produce.”
