[Buffy Hughes]

Good afternoon Main Street.  Attached is the 2020 calendar and the Main Street Now Conference Schedule at-a-Glance.  Below is additional information regarding the trainings this year, and please encourage board and committee members to attend as well as anyone else.

Continuing Education/Training

April 1-2: Leadership and Accreditation Standards

Location: Main Street Enid

One item not on the agenda is the formerly required Preservation Conference, so it has been replaced by an additional required training to get us all ready for upcoming change.  The training session topics will include Accreditation Standards, Experiences and Lessons Learned from those that went through the NMSC Annual Evaluation, and Leadership.  You will receive 25 quality assurance points for attending.



April 3: Upper Floor Living Education

Location: Main Street Enid

Main Street Enid and the OMSC are presenting an upper floor residential tour and informational session with Main Street Enid's Economic Vitality committee and Main Street Architect Josh Kunkel providing the content.  This session is optional, open to all, and would be a great add-on to the April 1-2 training.  You will receive 5 quality assurance points for attending.



June 17-18: New Director Training

Location: Oklahoma City

All new directors hired since June 2019 are required to attend however it is open to anyone wanting a refresher course.  Topics include Programming, Leadership and Organizational Development as well as Main Street basics.  Directors receive 5 quality assurance points a day for attending.



August 25-27: Team and Partnership Development, Action Items, and Storytelling

Location: Kendall Whittier (Tulsa)

All Main Streets have a story, so how do you tell that story and use it to connect with others and promote your community?  Besides storytelling, we will explore turning action from a dream to action as reality, and finding the right people/groups to make it happen.  The Director's Roundtable will happen as well.  Please note this date has changed from early August  due to speaker availability. This is a required training. You will receive 25 quality assurance points for attending.



November 3-5: Branding, Diverse Fund Development, and Award Nominations

Location: Main Street Altus

The OMSC is working with the NMSC to get "Mr. Branding" himself, Ben Muldrow, for this session.  You will learn the value of an organizational brand, brand consistency, brand implementation, and more.  Norma Ramirez de Miess will educate us on the importance of diversified funding and how to achieve it.  We will also cover award nominations for 2021, and engage in our usual Director's Roundtable. This is a required training and you will receive 25 quality assurance points for attending.



Main Street Now Conference



The National Main Street Conference is May 18-20 in Dallas, Texas.  All new directors hired since last year's conference are required to attend the Main Street 101 on Sunday, May 17th.  If a director did not attend the National conference in 2019 (Seattle), they will be required to attend this year. You will receive 25 quality assurance points for attending.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Have a good day,
