<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">I agree with Elaina that a smaller board number is better. In Main Street, we typically recommend between 9 and 11 members – enough to represent the diverse stakeholders but not too large that it is hard to get a quorum
or facilitate good discussion. You can engage other folks through committee or specific project work. This holds true for both separate non-profit boards and when a standing ad</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">You can definitely have too many people sitting on a board. I think 7-9 is a good number in order to reach a consensus and move forward. I’ve worked for organizations with boards over 20 people and really at that point,
the executive committee make all the decisions and the rest of the board doesn’t do much. My background is more in the Chamber of Commerce industry but still very similar as far as building consensus, creating a team, working on projects. I mean if you have
a committee for each of the four points, then the board of directors, with 7-9 members each you’ll end up with 35-45 people in total. That’s a lot of involvement!

that would be responsible for many of the administrative aspects of Main Street work. Each of the communities represented by the regional program would then be represented by a committee of local stakeholders. These community-specific committees would have
the opportunity to focus on more of the placemaking aspects of Main Street, particularly as they relate to the Main Street Approach's Transformation Strategies and Four Points.</span></span></p>
