<p class="MsoNormal"><b>2019 Oregon Main Street Conference and Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Awards<o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are thrilled to announce the featured Keynote Speaker, Melody Warnick. Ms. Warnick is the author of
<i>This Is Where You Belong: Finding Home Wherever You Are</i>, 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
