Save the Date! 2023 Oregon Main Street Conference Oct. 4-6 (Sponsor opportunities still available!)
Oregon Main Street Conference | Idea to Implementation
October 4th through 6th, 2023
Various venues in Independence, Oregon
The world needs big-picture thinkers as much as it does detail oriented logisticians. We all need to get our organizations from the idea to the practical application through innovation. Through inspired leadership, our main street programs throughout Oregon are helping to sustain and enhance the vitality of traditional commercial districts in this way. The 2023 Oregon Main Street Conference will look at the "big picture" of why our main street districts are so incredibly important to the health and well-being of local communities - physically, economically, and socially.
Main Street organizations to think creatively about the issues and opportunities impacting their communities and develop concrete programs and activities to bring about meaningful change.
Sessions cover a variety of topics for both beginners and those with experience. The format includes keynotes, interactive workshops, and networking time.  Join us for this very special, one-of-a-kind conference! Explore this concept more with Oregon's Main Street organizations and save the date for the:
Featured Speakers Include:
Mary Means, The Mother of Main Street
The Power of Story in Main Street's Rebirth.
It's been said that before there was the Main Street Approach, the accepted story about downtown was "Leave. It's dead." Then, Mary Means came along and proved that it wasn't.  Through her inspired leadership and vision, a new narrative was created.  The power of story is quite relevant today as our nation seems to become more polarized every day. In this keynote, Mary will talk about what we need Main Street to be as we face unprecedented challenges. Can it become greater than the sum of its parts? And, can Main Street be a catalyst for resilience? Hear Mary's thoughts on the evolving role Main Streets play.
Steve Patty, Ph.D., Dialogues in Action & Pacific University Masters in Nonprofit Leadership Faculty
Main Idea: Leadership and the Art and Practice of Developing People
Right at the heart of what it means to be a leader is to develop people. Developing people is every leader's greatest privilege, most profound joy, and most sober responsibility. But with all the stresses of leadership, amidst all the interruptions, duties, and the cacophony of demands in leadership, how does a leader find the time and space to develop people? How does a leader get things done while developing people? This is not easy. It doesn't just happen. Developing people often gets buried by the urgent and relegated to the optional. This plenary will show you how to re-center developing people as a core focus in your leadership.
Registration will open soon in early August!
