SNJDC Statement on COVID-19 and Upcoming Events
Good afternoon,
We’d like to take a moment to address the status of the COVID-19 outbreak.
We want to assure you that we have been closely monitoring the rapidly evolving situation and are implementing our own precautionary measures to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of our staff and our members.
Given the increasingly restrictive environment, changing guidance, and concern over public gatherings risking community spread, we felt it prudent to postpone all upcoming events and committee meetings through the end of April including:
- Sound Off for South Jersey Policy Conference – March 26th & 27th
- Education/Workforce Development Committee Meeting with Senator Chris Brown – April 8th
- Public Policy Breakfast with NJ DEP Commissioner McCabe – April 21st
- Republic Bank Open House – April 28th
We will announce the new dates for the above as they are confirmed.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will make decisions on further SNJDC events on a week by week basis. During this time, the SNJDC will remain fully operational and continue to work on behalf of our membership and the southern eight counties of New Jersey in order to create a better economic environment and serve as the unified voice for progress in the region.
In addition, the State of New Jersey established a resource for businesses and guidance for employers impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. We encourage you to review all materials accessible via:
cv.nj.business.gov
Thank you for your understanding at this critical time.
We encourage all to review the CDC’s guidance
Steps to Prevent Illness
here.
Very truly yours,
Marlene Z. Asselta
President, SNJDC
