[OMS_MANAGERS] Regards to Rural Main Street Discount!

[Michael Held]

Hello Main Street Communities,



I'm reaching out about the 2018 Regards to Rural conference<http://r2r.rdiinc.org/> and would like to personally encourage Main Street staff and their board members to attend this year's conference. Regards to Rural is a wonderful opportunity for Main Street folks to connect with other communities, resources, and best practices around community and economic vitality. Because your hard work means so much to this state, and we know how tight everyone's budgets are, we'd like to offer a SPECIAL conference registration discount for Main Street Communities of just $125 - a 50% discount.



Main Street staff and their Board Members can attend the two-day conference including all sessions, plenaries, meals, Friday evening networking reception*, and conference-related materials.

*Space is limited. Be sure to RSVP for the reception while registering for the conference.

** The Friday pre-session presenter Becky McCray will address the bold question behind the rural problems we all face to help reshape the future of our towns into being open to new ideas, prosperous, moving forward, and Idea Friendly; cost of the pre-session is $45 in addition to conference registration.



NOTE: If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please send an email to r2r at rdiinc.org<mailto:r2r at rdiinc.org> and mention in the subject line "Main Street R2R Discount." You'll receive an email back with a discount code to use during registration.



ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:

With a theme of "Bridges Between Rural & Urban," this year's conference will be held at the Red Lion Hotel on the River in Jantzen Beach, Portland, Oregon. While the urban location may seem a curious choice, we chose it purposefully to support building those bridges. A goal of the conference has always been to strengthen and celebrate rural people, places, and economies, and this year we hope you'll join us and 400 other rural leaders in strengthening the interconnectedness between rural and urban.



The conference will be held Saturday-Sunday, May 19-20, 2018, with a Friday pre-session. Session tracks include Revitalizing Rural Economies; Rural Leadership Networks; Resources for Rural Communities; and Elevating Rural Voices and Priorities.

Thanks for all you do, we look forward to seeing you at the conference!
