Our Theme: Entrepreneurship and Diversity

These qualities add to the local flavor, create a true reflection of a community, contribute to an authentic identity and exciting business mix – all essential motivations that bring customers, tourists, new residents, and cool businesses to your district.

Main Street diversity has many dimensions: age, socioeconomic backgrounds, culture, business type, architecture, lifestyles, and ethnicities. Embracing diversity brings multiple perspectives and a wider range of talent to your organization and your community. The 2008 conference will focus on creating new opportunities and building stronger Main Street programs and districts through leveraging entrepreneurs and diversity.
