In January 2024, Marietta Main Street yet again welcomed the largest group of Board of Directors to lead the organization to date; 16 voting board members will join alongside 6 ex-officio community leaders to form a team of 22 qualified, passionate individuals charged with governing Marietta’s 501c3 downtown revitalization organization.
The Marietta Main Street Board of Directors leads the way in supporting eight committees, each housing a series of programs, events, and initiatives vital to the Main Street mission. This leadership is set on the foundation of national accreditation, achieved annually, via Main Street America and Heritage Ohio.
Together, the Main Street Board of Directors works diligently to progress our goals for community and economic development downtown even further. Through collaboration with local stakeholders, a love for Marietta, and an investment of their time, talent, and treasure, the Main Street Board of Directors sets the strategic direction for the organization and our downtown community.
