Committees and Initiatives
Beverly Main Streets has 4 active organizational committees:
Economic Restructuring: This committee is responsible for downtown revitalization and the proper use of our historic and architecturally unique buildings. The committee is currently working on a strategic plan to recruit and retain downtown businesses, residents and visitors so that we can be proactive in our marketing approach to bring the right mix of businesses downtown. This is the core of our organization and all of our goals and other committee initiatives are aligned with this committee.
Design: This committee is focused on the “look and feel” of downtown – the face of the city. The members focus on façade improvement programs, streetscape improvements, signage, safety and accessibility and the overall walkability of our downtown environment.
Promotions: This is the committee that designs and offers The Beverly Book, which our largest fundraiser. The Book offers more than $2800 in discounts from 100 local businesses and is sold for $25. In addition, the committee plans and runs promotional events all through the year such as the Holiday Shoppers’ Walk and Art Walk, the Clean Sweep event, Paint the Town Red and the Trick or Treat event, just to name a few.
Organization: The organization committee has 3 primary focus areas: fundraising, organizational structure (which includes recruiting and retaining Board Members and Committee Chairs) and planning for the long-term viability of BMS.
Community volunteers with expertise in any of these focus areas are always welcome. Please contact Gin Wallace if you’re interested in joining one of these committees! Call 978-922-8558 or email gwallace@beverlymainstreets.org.
In addition, we have 2 committees which focus on our signature family events:
Beverly’s New Year’s: this team works from September thru January to plan and carry out our New Year’s Eve celebration. They line up the artists and performers, orchestrate the Grand Procession and blow up the beachballs that fall from the sky when we count down to the new year!
ArtsFest: the ArtsFest committee starts up in January and works thru June. The Committee is responsible for all aspects of planning and bringing to life the most fun arts festival in New England! They find talented artists, vendors, musicians and performers and create a schedule that celebrates art in all of its various forms.
Volunteers are welcome to help with these events! Click here to sign up!
