[OMS_MANAGERS] Engaging Millennials

[Henry Katie * OPRD]

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


Hello All,

This past year I have heard some of you talk about millennials in many different ways. For some of you, it's how to retain them in your towns. For others, it's how to engage this generation in your downtown revitalization efforts.

I found this article to be interesting as it addresses some of what interests and appeals to millennials and where they choose to live, http://smallbizsurvival.com/2017/06/can-rural-communities-retain-young-people.html.

As for engaging them in your downtown efforts, Jacqueline Wolven is addressing this topic in her session Jumpstart Your Own Street Team at the 2017 Oregon Main Street Conference in Oregon City. Don't forget to register<https://omsconference.ticketleap.com/2017/> in order to get the early bird rate!

Have a good weekend!
