Here are some other things to keep in mind:

  • It's important to note that any Mainstreet member may begin using this addendum immediately. Members of other associations, those that are part of the multi-board contract joint venture, may also be able to use this new addendum, pending approval from their respective associations.
  • Mainstreet has decided to host our education and meetings via Zoom until further notice.

As things continue to change, we will revisit these decisions and update you as soon as possible.
