[OMS_MANAGERS] Reminder to Register for the 2013 Oregon Main Street Conference

[Sheri Stuart]

Hello,
 
Just a reminder to register for the 2013 Oregon Main Street Conference, October 2-4 and to reserve your room at one of our conference hotel sites. I am particularly excited about our line-up of speakers and I know our host community, Astoria, will be an excellent showcase for on-going downtown revitalization efforts. Attached is our Preliminary Schedule and additional information about the conference.
 
We are once again offering free registration to staff, board, and volunteer members from our Oregon Main Street network communities, but pre-registration is required at:
 
http://2013mainstreetconference.eventbrite.com/ ( http://www.2013mainstreetconference.org/ ) 
 
We are also offering 2 pre-conference sessions on Oct 2, "For Board Members Only," to help board members of downtown programs across Oregon identify and discuss pressing issues for local programs and boards, and "Main Street Bootcamp" for those who are new to the Main Street Approach or need a refresher course.
