[MainstreetManagers] Training and OBRP

[Buffy Hughes]

Good Afternoon Main Street.  Below are the original training topics for August and November.  Please let me know if you want to continue with these, or other more pressing issues.  Virtual Tours was brought up on our ED zoom call on Friday.  Would you want a deeper dive into Norma's session on "The Value of Your Community's Main Street?"  Storytelling may still be relevant.  I want to hear from you.



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.


OBRP
The OBRP program is proving to be EXTREMELY popular.  Please meet with your banker and get your application in ASAP.

Have a good day,
Buffy
