[MainstreetManagers] Facebook + Conference, NMSC Membership and OMSC Zoom Calls

[Buffy Hughes]

Good afternoon Main Street.

Thank you for participating in the zoom call yesterday.  The discussion on retail events and service/restaurant/retail mobs was very informative with lots of great ideas.

Facebook + Conference
Here is the link to the OMSC Directors & Volunteers Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/129569704119246  I will post the opening plenary seating location on this page (don't forget to wear your OMSC t-shirt) as well as email as soon as I get it.  This is also the place to connect on where to eat, places to see, etc. in Boston.

Please don't forget about the Main Street Now Conference COVID test requirements.....


The health and safety of Main Street Now Conference attendees is Main Street America's top priority.  To that end, they have put together the COVID precaution plan<https://reg.eventmobi.com/msn2023/pages/faqs#COVID> below that every attendee must abide by. (This information was included in conference marketing materials and you had to confirm your willingness to comply via the registration site).

Testing
Regardless of vaccination status, all attendees are required to conduct a COVID-19 test no more than 24-hours prior to check-in and to provide proof of a negative test result before they receive their badge and access conference areas/activities. Both PCR and self-administered rapid tests will be accepted.
Showing Proof of Negative Test On-Site
For tests performed in a clinical setting, a lab report including the attendee's name will be accepted. For self-administered tests, attendees must show a "test selfie" (i.e. a photo including their face and a clearly visible negative test result) and be prepared to show the selfie at check-in/registration.
MSA will not retain copies of test results.
Anyone who registered for the Main Street Now Conference already agreed to the above policy. Please read and ensure compliance before on-site arrival.

NMSC Membership
Contact me or any of the team members if you don't know your National Main Street Center membership number.  If you are new to Main Street, then NMSC should have sent it to you directly.  You will need it to log into the members area of https://www.mainstreet.org/home.  Attached is the membership FAQ page.

OMSC Zoom Calls
The director zoom calls are from 9:00 - 10:00am on the second Tuesday of each month.  Anna sends the calendar invite and zoom link prior to the event and I send a reminder with a list of topics.  I am trying to find someone at the tax commission to talk about collecting taxes at events and permits.  We are always open to suggestions as well.

I look forward to seeing you at the Placemaking Conference on Monday and in Boston.

Have a good day,
Buffy
