[OMS_MANAGERS] Troubleshooting for Main Street

[STUART Sheri * OPRD]

This message is being distributed over the OMS listserv. All responses will also go over the listserv.

We are excited about plans for this year's OMS Conference, Oct. 4-6, in Oregon City! We are mixing things up quite a bit - including adding an awards banquet hosted by Downtown Oregon City and special sessions on Friday to close out the conference. At the plenary breakfast, you will have a chance to learn how to tell your own downtown revitalization story...and hear from 5 towns that received coaching this summer on how to craft their messaging. And, here's where you come in - we are assembling an amazing panel of experts to troubleshoot issues on Main Street. Send us a brief message about an issue that you are grappling with:

*        Having trouble with out of town owners?

*        Struggling with filling vacancies?

*        Engaging business owners?

*        Forging meaningful partnerships?
Whatever your issues, we want to hear - send them to sheri.stuart at oregon.gov<mailto:sheri.stuart at oregon.gov>. We will be selecting some of the issues to present to the panelists who will give their feedback on what to do. This will be a very fun & interactive session you won't want to miss!
