What's Inside:
OMS Updates - February Third Thursday, OMS Conference Session Proposals
Funding & Support - Energy Trust Cash Incentives

Seeking Session Proposals | OMS Conference | Submit a Proposal<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Mmk_qnz6tEegzqWYytFhz4r7Z5pSkUdHn0mSpus1wWRUOUlDUjQ3QjVPMEhYUDRENktYNkxRWENNVS4u>
Seeking submissions highlighting the importance of developing a vision and strategic direction for downtown to guide any changes to maintain downtown's vitality. This includes investing in creating a sustainable organization, engaging all members of the community, inspiring people to contribute time and resources, working incrementally, communicating progress, being flexible - all the things to build a structural support over the long haul.

Funding & Support:
[Text, logo  AI-generated content may be incorrect.]Energy Trust Cash Incentives for Small Businesses  | Access Link<http://www.energytrust.org/existingbuildings>
Older buildings can come with challenges like leaky insulation, drafty windows or outdated equipment that drives up energy costs. Small to medium-sized businesses with fewer than 20 employees or operating in a space under 20,000 square feet may qualify for cash incentives from Energy Trust of Oregon.  These incentives make it more affordable to invest in energy-efficiency equipment upgrades like smart thermostats, insulation and refrigeration equipment - helping you improve your building's performance, reduce energy costs and save money.  Ready to get started? Learn more about available equipment incentives by visiting the link above, emailing existingbuildings at energytrust.org<mailto:existingbuildings at energytrust.org>, or call 1.866.605.1676 to connect with a team member today.

Learning Resources:
Volunteer Program Management Package | Access Link<https://files.oprd.oregon.gov/index.php/s/MnStjjnRLRTcLjz> (Link expires March 31)
Based on our Network Meeting, we pulled together a resource packet of templates, examples, presentations, best practices, and ideas centered around the volunteer cycle to help you improve your volunteer programming. Please download any useful resources before March 31. *Note* Colorado Main Street and from DOJ resources in this packet will directly download to your computer instead of opening in a browser - check your download folder. [Recordings of last week's meetings coming soon!]

Cheers,
