Communicating with Clarity and Confidence When Crisis Hits Main Street

In times of crisis, Main Street programs play a vital role in leading local response and recovery efforts. Join MMSC during a full-day workshop to equip your organization with the tools, insights, and strategies to communicate effectively during a natural disaster, large event gatherings, or economic disruption—when your community needs it most.

Be ready to learn from Main Street America about a framework that will redefine your understanding of crisis communications and the unique role Main Street programs play. Then, hear from a panel of local leaders and how they navigated real-life crises in their communities. They’ll share lessons learned, strategies that worked, and how to build trust before, during, and after a crisis.
