We get it. Main Street Program directors are passionate, hardworking and incredibly driven to improve your communities; and you're also tired. You'd like to shop for groceries without stopping for a detailed presentation on a new project idea from someone in the cereal aisle. You'd like to spend more evenings and weekends at home with your families. You’d like a meaningful work-life balance. 

We hear you, and we want to help.
