Organization
This element of the Main Street Approach™ focuses on building collaboration among a broad range of public and private sector groups, organizations and constituencies.
The Organization Committee plays a key role in keeping the board, committees and staff functioning by attracting people and money to the Main Street Program. To succeed, this committee must take
responsibility for managing these financial and logistical aspects of the non-profit organization:
- Raising money - for projects and administration, from donations, sponsorships, etc.;
- Overseeing volunteer activities- by recruiting and supervising people, and rewarding good work;
- Promoting the program - to downtown interests and the public;
- Managing finances - by developing good accounting procedures.

So far in 2010
The Organization Committee has met twice now. Kyle Meyer, the Virginia Main Street rep from Richmond gave the group an orientation at its January meeting and in February, they met and discussed plans and ideas to increase the volunteer base. This committee will work closely with the Promotions Committee to organize a Spring Event to help the DBi raise money since the Town’s commitment for funding is soon to expire. Plans are also being framed for an annual campaign drive.
