[cid:image005.jpg at 01D7B9D7.8A6570D0]Patrice Frey, President and CEO of the National Main Street Center, will share reflections on the Main Street movement and observations on the future. As CEO, Patrice oversees the Center's work, offering technical assistance, research, advocacy, and education and training opportunities for Main Street's network of approximately 1,800 members. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the National Main Street Center is a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and has participated in the renewal of more than 2,000 older commercial districts during its 30-year history. Before joining the National Main Street Center in May 2013, Patrice serviced as the Director of Sustainability at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, where she oversaw the National Trust's efforts to promote the reuse and greening of older and historic buildings, including research and policy development work through the Seattle-based Preservation Green Lab.

[cid:image007.png at 01D7B9D7.8A6570D0]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.

[cid:image009.png at 01D7B9D7.8A6570D0]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.
