In the meantime, we’re sharing some informational links below that we hope you will read. There is a link to a recent letter from Griffin Hospital Occupational Medicine Center, the CDC recommendations for businesses to consider during this time. There are also a couple links to Harvard Business Review articles that relate to the actions that you can take.

As leaders in our region, we value your input. We ask you to share any relevant information from your industry experts or professionals with the chamber regarding COVID-19 as you become aware.

We encourage you to have open and frank discussions with your staff and employees. Make sure you are all on the same page when it comes to paid/unpaid sick time, working remotely, and general expectations. Work together to make a plan for an eventuality that none of us want to happen. The open and shared conversation will lead to a cohesive plan for your business.

We encourage you to be prudent and prepared, but not to overreact. We believe in trusting our partners in healthcare to provide guidance regarding the actions we take. The situation is changing daily, so please look on our website, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages for the most current updates regarding Chamber meetings and events. We will continue to communicate.
