The Oklahoma Main Street Center is offering our second Board Member Boot Camp, May 6th, in the historic Stockyards City Main Street in Oklahoma City! All Main Street board members need basic information to carry out their duties as overseers of state-chartered nonprofit organizations. Yearly board turnover is a fact for most local Main Street programs. New board members arrive each year, some with plenty of nonprofit board experience, some with none. Main Street programs rely on a working board and highly functioning volunteer committees which may be different than other non-profit experiences members have. Topics of note will include (but not limited to): * Grants - things to think about when applying, accepting and closing out. * The Art of MOUs - creating and keeping your end of the deal as a nonprofit * Succession Planning - who's taking the baton when you leave? * Organizational Health - who has access to your information?

Think about how different the outcome might have been for First Christian Church (Egg Church) in Oklahoma City if people knew the education wing had extensive plumbing for bathrooms; that the theater systems had been updated in the theater-in-the-round wing; that the pulpit came up from the basement like an elevator; that it had so much extra land to support 1200 parking spaces, an outdoor theater and a separate school building. All of which has been demo's and will soon be a new mixed-use development. With that said, the SHPO would like to start a social media piece every two weeks that will focus on a NRHP listed property in a Main Street community that is currently vacant. The idea is to engage the local community on creative ideas for use. I'm not necessary talking about turning a building into a skate park or a training facility for the circus (watch the video of her presentation) but just to get people talking about the vacant buildings and potential uses. The property that immediately came to mind is the former Post Office,/current Police Station in Sapulpa. Such a beautiful piece of historic architecture (listed in the NRHP) that people are talking about demolishing for a new building. If you are interested in participating, send me an email with a photograph and address of the property(ies) you would like to focus on in your community and we will get started.
