Health Checklist. For those folks who are feeling the need to have a little bit of an organizational check-in and reset – look at those resources under Learning Opportunities.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We have heard many of you talk about events that are part of your annual workplans that are either no longer serving you as an organization or you at least suspect they’re not. Whether its due to capacity
challenges, organizational budget, income vs. expense mismatch, or misalignment with your mission – there’s a lot of reasons to let go of an event. Two of our Main Street community leaders will join us to talk about the processes in their organizations that
assess and evaluate the thought of “when to let go.” Megan Dompe from Coburg and Kirsten Agard from Beaverton Downtown Association will share what they have found to be successful, including some policy examples that you can take home to your organizations
and put into practice. Access Link: <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83792327319?pwd=5dDiLoBqsGk2eTUEKWDI1demY1aqM6.1">
