Main Street Executive Director Resigns

Hope's Main Street Executive Director has tendered their resignation via email.  Citing time as the number one reason for their departure the former director stated,

"I have enjoyed the time I have been able to spend at this position, which brings me to my reason for leaving this position. I do not believe that it is fair to the town, the businesses in the town, and/or Main Street of Hope for me to stay in this position with the little time that I would be able to put toward it and to be ALL IN. I do not wish to continue as a member and I would like to be replaced as soon as possible. This job was rewarding, fun, and I did learn alot (sic) from doing this. There are other reasons that I am stepping down but they are not important as time is the #1 reason."

The former director Matt Lee went on to say "My suggestion would be to put someone in this position that has ideas that can make the older events more successful and put in place new events. The town needs growth and that growth needs to come with some change."

Main Street of Hope will be seeking a new executive director.  Watch for a follow-up article from Jenn Whillhite.
