Meet the Main Street Eureka Springs Board
Dee Bright
“At the core I care about preservation and the Main Street program puts life into the buildings that mean so much to our community and state. As treasurer/secretary I have seen the organization grow from a small part time program to a fully accredited Main Street America organization and I’m proud of that development for our team and for the community as a whole.”

“I was taught at an early age to give back to my community in whatever way possible, and that’s why I chose to sit on the board for Main Street Eureka Springs. Through various revitalization projects and fundraisers, our organization has the unique ability to help our town remain relevant to thousands of people who visit our region each year.”
