Ilana will join us to talk about Recast Your City's new tool the Spark Scorecard<https://scorecard.recastcity.com/about>. She'll share more about this data-driven measurement tool that allows leaders to assess, track, and enhance their efforts in supporting small-scale manufacturers and product-based businesses.  Access Link<https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83792327319?pwd=5dDiLoBqsGk2eTUEKWDI1demY1aqM6.1> Passcode: 760959

After recent conversations, the program has decided that MoM calls will continue using the same link and password throughout the year unless something beyond our control prompts us to refresh the link. While the link will not change, the schedule will still rotate based on the season: weekly on Thursdays 9:30am to 10:30am from September 2025 through May of 2026, June through August 2026 first & third Thursdays 9:30am to 10:30am. We hope this helps avoid confusion as to which links to use and when, and as always - check the Google Calendar widget for the most up to date information.

Conference Updates:
15 Days Until Prices Go Up!
Are you someone who registers at the last-minute for meetings and conferences? We urge you not to be! On October 1, prices will rise again for the Oregon Main Street conference. If you haven't yet, register for the conference<https://cvent.me/OMOGN8> and save the extra money to be able to spend in Albany.
