Virtual Conversation with the Chamber - Open for Business: Building Consumer and Employee Confidence

Amid businesses reopening and trying to stay open, the coronavirus threat is ever-present. The ongoing discussion to maintain health and safety balanced with the need to continue to do business is ever-evolving. 

Consumers and workers worry about returning to public life as the coronavirus continues to circulate. As government restrictions are lifted, many US consumers see store hygiene as a major determinant in deciding where to shop.

In this webinar, local business owners will discuss the challenges of the current health and economic landscape coupled with solutions and best practices to maintain both employee and customer confidence.
