Leadership Development Workshop
The Leadership Development Workshop, an essential component of the Main Street America Institute, will be held in Birmingham, Alabama, ahead of the 2024 Main Street Now Conference. The Leadership Development Workshop is aimed at empowering revitalization professionals with tools and strategies to connect, motivate, and lead people effectively over an intensive two-day experience.
