WDAC again collaborates to offer downtown webinars
In its second season, the webinar series called Revitalizing Wisconsin’s Downtowns provide downtowns with sound advice, local dialogue and peer-learning.
Local leaders, downtown directors and local economic development professionals (and anyone interested in your downtown) have an opportunity to contribute to supporting your downtown district. State and national experts present information relevant to the topics and are available to address questions.
You and your community can easily be part of these quarterly sessions.
Topics & Dates: (Thursdays noon until 1:30pm)
March 11: Shopping Downtown and the “Deliberate Consumer”
May 13: Living Downtown
September 9: Working Downtown
November 11: Entertainment Downtown
You can access these webinars from home or business with the appropriate computer and phone setup, the full value of the program is achieved when everyone participates from a regional host site where you can learn from and interact with your peers and share in the local dialogue.
In most cases, local sponsorships are used to help defray or reduce the cost of participating in these programs. For more information and to register contact the appropriate UW-Extension host in your area.
