WE. MISS. NETWORKING.
2020 has pushed many of us to be more innovative as we adapt to our socially distanced circumstances. Enter, The Zoom Room. A facilitated space with just one purpose – Networking. We’ll set the stage, you bring yourself and your pitch. Each Zoom Room will start with introductions and a round of questions, and end in breakout sessions curated to the types of connections you’re looking for. At the end of the meeting, contact information will be provided to participants. Join us virtually on the last Thursday of the month from 4 pm-5:30 pm. 
BUSINESS SUCCESS PLATFORM
Strategic Insights Restaurant Revitalization Grant Fund Informational Video
The restaurant industry lost more than $250 billion dollars in 2020, causing 100k restaurants to close their doors forever.

The American Rescue Plan Act established the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) to provide funding to help restaurants and other eligible businesses keep their doors open. This program will provide restaurants with funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss up to $10 million per business and no more than $5 million per physical location.
