[MainstreetManagers] Main Street Advocacy for federal support

[Vicki Davis]

Good morning,
I wanted to make you aware of a National Trust webinar tomorrow, in which Patrice Frey (Main Street America, President & CEO) will be participating.  I encourage you to tune in and become more familiar with our current efforts for federal funding specifically to support Main Street programs and businesses.

Webinar: Increasing Congressional Support for Preservation During the Pandemic<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fregister.gotowebinar.com%2fregister%2f3993982991737135376&c=E,1,diEAiXtySCwtcYN3ZeOUvMhIdwXDrWswsgP5whNluzwhChjEmcsWOZ_puiQ7JuUj-TXJe2DB1JLK1eHHWQ5hnAaGyaBkPSSxE8ZJ9NFlALp1zPJLWrnC6LcEtl8,&typo=1>
Thursday, May 28, 2020                3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT

In response to the public health and economic challenges created by the coronavirus pandemic, Congress has passed four funding packages, and is currently working on additional legislative responses in the weeks or months to come. Preservationists need to get involved in these discussions - from ways to support America's Main Streets to using revitalization as a proven method for stimulating job creation and local economies. Hear from Patrice Frey, CEO of Main Street America and Chris Moore, executive director of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation about the needed work to secure preservation funding in future legislation. In this webinar from Preservation Leadership Forum, learn from the Government Relations team at the National Trust for Historic Preservation about some of the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead and Kelly Lizarraga from the Coalition of American Heritage about how to put your best messages forward. This webinar is part of a series by Preservation Leadership Forum dedicated to supporting the preservation community during the coronavirus pandemic.

Also,  I am still looking for two more "best practices" examples of how your Main Street program is supporting (or have supported) businesses during/through this COVID crisis.  Yu may email this information directly . . . . just a one liner will do.    I will be wrapping the Oklahoma letter to Senator Lankford by the end of the day to send for approval, so your prompt response is appreciated.

Thank you for your support in this effort,
Vicki
