At the closing plenary for the 2023 Main Street Now Conference in Boston, Massachusetts, we conferred the 2023 Main Street America Revitalization Professional credential recipients. The MSARP credential is the highest level of achievement offered through the Main Street America Institute, requiring dedication to completing a rigorous curriculum of online courses, readings, assignments, workshops, and a challenging final exam. While also maintaining their daily duties as leaders in their communities, these individuals have doubled down on their dedication to service by prioritizing professional development and growth in their commercial corridor management careers.
Join us in congratulating the latest recipients of the MSARP credential!
