The board approved the appointment of Adam to the Marketing and Promotions Committee by voice vote.

Marketing staff then presented first-quarter statistics showing increases in social-platform engagement and website traffic for the winter season. Staff reported two pending sponsorships for the Sounds of Summer concert series and said they currently have four bands scheduled, with a goal to secure additional sponsorships by mid-May to support a fuller summer program. The office is also testing a 30-second TV commercial campaign (three businesses per month could participate) and tracking sponsorship response rates for movies-in-the-park and billboard campaigns.

A staff member reported that the birthday-club promotion has attracted more than 50 signups so far and that façade-grant and Main Street matching-grant applications have been submitted for local businesses; award decisions for those grants are expected in June.

What happens next: Adam will serve on the committee and marketing staff will continue sponsor outreach, finalize summer schedules and return with sponsorship confirmations and budget details.
