Your Chamber and COVID-19

Posted: March 16, 2020

We are facing fluid and extraordinary times in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. These are challenging times unlike any we have ever experienced, but we are certain that by taking a proactive approach to this health situation, we can be part of a larger team that is working to mitigate this before it becomes a much more serious crisis. In the best interest of you, your business, and our community, we are suspending all in-person networking, meeting and programming events until further notice. This is not about us as individuals, but more about us doing what is necessary to protect each other.

The Chamber office will remain fully staffed and we intend to continue serving you. In the coming days and/or weeks, I am confident that we will find ways to encourage connections in new and innovative ways. In the meanwhile, we will remain available to you via phone, email or text. Please stay in touch.

We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenging times, and we look forward to returning to business as usual soon.

Thank you,

Stacy Romero
