[HENRY Katie * OPRD]

Hi All!

You should all have the 2019 Oregon Main Street Conference on your calendar, but just in case you don't, here are some details for you:

2019 Oregon Main Street Conference and Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Awards
Connecting People, Places, and Partners
Oct. 2-3
Tillamook

We are thrilled to announce the featured Keynote Speaker, Melody Warnick. Ms. Warnick is the author of This Is Where You Belong: Finding Home Wherever You Are, a practical guide to loving the place where you live that has been featured in the New York Times, Time magazine, Fast Company, Psychology Today, and others. Described by Richard Florida as "an important book for so many people who are choosing their place to live," This Is Where You Belong explores the groundbreaking concept of place attachment and leads longtime residents and newcomers alike to commit to a more passionate relationship with their community. A regular speaker about place, Melody also is a freelance writer for such publications as Reader's Digest, The Guardian, and O: The Oprah Magazine. She lives with her husband and two daughters in Blacksburg, Virginia. You can find her online at melodywarnick.com. She was also featured at the 2018 National Main Street Conference in Kansas City and was truly inspiring with her presentation.

We are almost done with the session lineup and we are pretty excited about it! We will be updating the conference website<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/SHPO/Pages/2019-OMS-Conference.aspx> as we finish the schedule of events. We will also send out an email once registration is open.

We also have conference sponsorship opportunities<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/SHPO/docs/2019%20OMS%20Conference%20Sponsorship.pdf> if you know of anyone who might be interested.

A big thank you to the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce for being the conference host and partnering with us on the conference!
