  *   The new donor guide, Increasing Your Main Street's Financial Stability: A Guide to Turning Supporters into Donors, is now available! We have been working with Donna Harris, Heritage Consulting Inc., to work on a complete overhaul of our former "How to be successful in membership campaigns" guide from 2008. The attached guide will take you through the steps to put together a comprehensive strategy. We will be hosting a short, 30-minute webinar followed by Q&A with Donna on July 28, 8:30 a.m., to introduce the guide and answer questions you might have. See a description and registration information below.

Webinar Description: Main Street organizations need to develop a robust fundraising plan from a diverse group of supporters to build and sustain a viable organization. One of the most important sources is a donor campaign where you invest the same amount of time to put together a comprehensive, community wide strategy as you would a major event. This webinar will introduce you to a new, updated guide by Donna Harris with Heritage Consulting for Oregon Main Street, Increasing Your Main Street's Financial Stability: A Guide to Turning Supporters into Donors.

Wednesday, July 28, 8:30 am PT/9:30 am MT/10:30 CT/11:30 ET

  *   Save the Date - Oregon Main Street (virtual) Conference, October 6-8. Our conference theme this year is Inviting Spaces, Friendly Faces, Authentic Places which reflects the impact our Oregon Main Street communities are having in place centered economic development that engages people from all walks for life. We are super excited to have two dynamic and engaging keynote speakers for our opening and closing sessions:
     *   Peter Kageyama is author of For the Love of Cities: The Love Affair Between People and Their Places, the follow ups, Love Where You Live: Creating Emotionally Engaging Places, and The Emotional Infrastructure of Places. Peter speaks about emotional engagement with PLACES - cities, towns, communities and neighborhoods. He speaks about why love matters and why it is a good thing when more people become emotionally engaged with their places, when they "fall in love" with those places. Join us for Peter's keynote presentation followed by a deeper dive session that looks at putting the ideas he talks about into practice.  Special emphasis will be made on downtown/Main Street issues and there will be time for interactive Q&A.
     *   Erik Dominguez is a public speaking teacher and coach. As an immigrant who grew up between two cultures and mixed messages, the familiarity Erik has with communication fears fueled him to learn and share the tools to overcome those obstacles. For nearly 25 years, his team-oriented speaking and teaching style has centered around shared experiences, a philosophy that everyone has a unique story, and a belief that everyone can share their minds and hearts through powerful presentations. Erik's keynote address, The Required Art, and following workshop will focus on how to use public speaking to achieve personal and professional breakthroughs giving you practical tools for confident, powerful, and joyful communication.
