Board of Directors Role and Responsibilities
The board has well-managed, regular monthly meetings, with an advance agenda and regular distribution of minutes. Currently the board meets every second Thursday of each month from 11:30 to 1:00.
The board is the ultimate decision-making body for the organization and is responsible for ensuring that the organization operates in accordance with its bylaws. Board members establish policy, approve the annual budget, focus organization goals, and guide the Executive Director. Board Officers include the President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer.
Our board consists of local leaders and involved residents that represent a variety of community interest from education to banking to architectural preservation. A local Main Street program must ensure that there is a strong connection between the board and the Main Street committees. There are four active Pikeville Main Street committees that carry out the four points of the Main Street community revitalization approach, preservation and design, economic vitality, promotion and organization.

4 POINT APPROACH COMMITTEES
The Main Street program must ensure that there is a strong connection between the board and the Main Street committees. To achieve this, the Pikeville Main Street Program recommends that board members serve on one of the 4 Point Approach committees as set forth by the National Main Street Program.
Each committee is also represented by community volunteers to carry out the goals and projects of the program.
