Member Announcements & Events

The Clay County Public Health Center has ordered prints of two different posters for distribution to local businesses as we transition into step 1 of our recovery phase. One poster is for business entrances and the other is a generic “keep six feet apart please” flyer.
These posters can be used by businesses to educate and inform the public about some of the basic precautions that should be taken to prevent the spread of germs.
The Kearney Chamber of Commerce has agreed to be a distribution point for these posters. Posters can be picked up Friday, May 8th from the Chamber Office between 10:30am-Noon. Or, if you would like them delivered, please email
stacie@kearneychamber.org
by EOD Sunday.
If any company would like to print their own, the same documents can be downloaded from the Community Recovery Toolkit at
clayhealth.com/recovery

Senate Passes Workforce Provisions To Aid Economic Revival
|
The COVID-19 health crisis has left 450,000 Missourians out of work and created significant new challenges for employers seeking to reopen their doors. In an effort to aid this recovery, the Missouri Senate has passed an important bill to help create more
flexibility in the state's workforce and provide greater career mobility.
House Bill 2046 is sponsored by Rep. Derek Grier, a Republican from Chesterfield, and handled in the Senate by Sen. Mike Bernskoetter, both
2019 Missouri Business Champions
.
As amended and passed by the Senate, the bill makes changes to the state's occupational licensing laws, allowing skilled professionals who are already licensed in another state to come to Missouri enter the workforce. In addition, the legislation would enhance apprenticeships in the state by making it possible for apprentices to obtain industry licenses as part of an apprenticeship.
While these provisions were originally proposed as ways to help fill the workforce shortage that was present in the state before the COVID-19 crisis, they remain very important as the state seeks to recover and get Missourians back to work.
