<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>About the Workshop:<br>
</b>Change and disruption have become the norms in recent years due to a variety of factors impacting our world, our nation, and our communities. Change impacts everyone and yet everyone deals with change differently. Rather than constantly reacting to change,
there are strategies to anticipate and prepare for change both personally and organizationally. Utilizing existing and emerging change management principles and tools, this interactive workshop will empower and equip participants with a toolkit to develop
their own customized approach to change that can be directly applied to the unique needs of their organization moving forward.
<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>Presenter:</b><br>
The workshops will be presented by Joseph Thouvenel, a seasoned change management professional who has applied his expertise in both higher education and healthcare settings. An experienced and collaborative leader, Joe loves to empower and equip others to
realize their potential and achieve success especially during times of transition and disruption. In his current role, Joe works with leaders and teams throughout Providence Health and Services to build capacity for change. Through collaboration, coaching,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Oregon Main Street just opened applications for the Designated Main Street and Affiliated Main Street level communities for the first time since pre-pandemic. Applications are due on January 31, 2023. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Oregon Main Street has a new tiered approach that allows communities to participate in ways that best meet their capacity and needs. The Main Street track, which includes Accredited, Designated, and Affiliated
Main Street levels, is for communities that want to use the comprehensive Main Street Approach™ to sustain and enhance their historic downtown or traditional commercial neighborhood district. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">There are specific criteria communities must meet to qualify and maintain status depending on the level of participation. Some of these criteria include:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4">Having an independent nonprofit focused on the historic core<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4">Commitment to using the Main Street Four-Point™ structure<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4">Adequate staffing levels<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4">Participation in required trainings<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">There is also the Connected Communities level for communities that aren’t ready to use the Main Street™ structure but see value in participating in the OMS Network. A full list of communities participating in
the OMS Network can be found at <a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oregonmainstreet.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7CKatie.HENRY%40oprd.oregon.gov%7C5b124e616a844923735808dac76a54da%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638041556754283483%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=G9tPBxJGQTOUkLD23qAXoZaJ9CuaA2X5mX42CfKbFTw%3D&reserved=0">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Acceptance into the Oregon Main Street Network, depending on the Tier, allows communities to participate in services such as training workshops, be eligible for community assessments and technical assistance,
and compete for grants.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The Main Street Approach™, developed by Main Street America™, is a time-tested framework for community-driven, comprehensive revitalization. This proven approach emphasizes community organization, design, promotion,
and economic vitality to create healthy and livable downtown commercial districts. This approach advocates a return to community self-reliance, empowerment and the rebuilding of commercial districts based on traditional assets, unique architecture, personal
service, local ownership, and sense of community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">“We are excited about opening up applications for communities to participate in our Network at one of our advanced levels,” said Sheri Stuart, State Coordinator, Oregon Main Street. “Through a recent study of
our Network, we know the difference our local main street organizations are having on their communities and welcome the opportunity to work more deeply with other communities that want to use the Main Street Approach™.” This study, culminating in the
<a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/2022OMS_Impact_Report.pdf">Impact of Oregon’s Main Streets Report</a><u>,</u> shares the story of how the Oregon Main Street Network strengthens community networks, bolsters the economy, generates state and
local tax revenue, and fosters social connections across the state.<o:p></o:p></p>

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Personal pronouns are a standard part of speech that many people in Western cultures pay little attention to; however, pronouns are a critical part of everyone’s identity. In the last decade, a significant cultural
shift has begun highlighting the use of pronouns, gender-neutral language and the appropriate ways to show respect to people of all gender identities/expressions. Some allies have begun including pronouns in their company email signature to show solidarity
in addition to online profiles. Still, it is more complex and nuanced than just these simple acts to create safe and inclusive spaces. This workshop uses practical examples and personal stories from the presenter's experience as a queer, transgender coach
and youth soccer club leader. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>Objectives:</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">- Understand the importance of pronouns to individual identity<br>
- Build empathy for transgender and nonbinary communities<br>
- Gain comfort and skills in using gender-neutral pronouns <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>Target Audience:</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">This workshop is ideal for anyone beginning to understand the importance of respectfully using pronouns and gender-neutral language. Those eager to increase their allyship skills for transgender and nonbinary-identified
colleagues and athletes to create thriving team cultures will benefit from the interactive and reflective process of the workshop.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The Oregon State Capitol History Gateway (CHG) is launching a second round of funding to help cultural and heritage museums produce an exhibit for display at the Oregon State Capitol. The Capitol displays exhibits
from entities throughout the state. CHG program exhibits are increasingly focused on telling Oregon history and stories about Oregonians that are interwoven with democracy or government. The Oregon State Capitol Foundation (OSCF) helps fund this and other
CHG programs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">With the historic portion of the building closed for construction, applicants must produce a virtual version of their exhibit for use on the Capitol’s website and then display a physical exhibit once the entire
building reopens in 2025. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The Capitol’s Visitor Services Department produces the CHG program, including events and exhibits, and will administer this funding opportunity. For this second round, the OSCF will award up to $7,500 per museum
or organization. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Last year’s sponsorship recipients were the Hellenic-American Cultural Center and Museum “Master Penworks of Tom Stefopoulos: The Hellenic Artist of the Lovejoy Columns,” the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture
“The Nez Perce in Oregon,” and Nordic Northwest “Swedish Cabins: Legacy of Henry Steiner and Fogelbo.”
