| Teresa Lynch is a senior program officer for the National Trust Main Street Center (NTMSC) and, as such, provides Main Street technical assistance and training to small and mid-sized communities and urban neighborhood commercial districts across the country. Teresa also manages special NTMSC projects - such as the Army-Community Heritage Partnerships Program, through which she has provided organizational development and commercial revitalization services to communities and Army installations in New York, Georgia, Arizona, Kansas, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Louisiana, and Kentucky.
Before joining the Center in 1999, Teresa worked in a variety of Main Street roles. She began her downtown redevelopment career more than 25 years ago as the state coordinator for the fledgling Main Street Arkansas program. After four years in that position she became the state coordinator for the Virginia Main Street program. In 1993 Teresa left the Virginia program to become an independent commercial revitalization specialist and during that time she served as a consultant to the NTMSC on technical assistance missions and was a co-author of the Main Street Committee Members Handbooks. In 1995, applying skills learned from years of teaching the Main Street Approach, Teresa became executive director of the Orange Downtown Alliance, a Main Street program in Orange, Va. She served in that capacity for four years prior to joining the National Trust Main Street Center. Her earlier career work includes positions in publishing, real estate, health care, and law.
