Hi, Chamber Friends. We hope you had a great holiday weekend!

Here are a few quick reminders of events happening this week. Please join us!
Thursday, July 8, 2021 Lunch-IN
11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.

The New Normal: How Local Companies Are Preparing for “Business as Usual”

Over the last year, we’ve marveled at how different our lives have become personally and professionally. We’ve had to rethink processes and procedures, and we’ve had to change how we do business with our customers. At several events, we’ve talked about how businesses have pivoted to accommodate new requirements and restrictions, but what’s next as we move into economic recovery?

After 15 months, we are finally at a point to consider what a “new normal” will look like for our businesses. At our July 8 luncheon, we’ll hear from representatives of three local organizations who will share how they are preparing to return to business as usual, including how they are handling the return of staff to their respective workplaces.

Our speakers include:

  • Regan Bolli, City of Covington
  • Bridget O’Connor, Red Canoe Credit Union
  • Sue Sherer, Schram & Associates

Please join us and share your organization’s plans, or your suggestions, ideas and questions.

We are planning for this to be our final virtual luncheon (yay!) However, because it is the week following a holiday, we want to be sure there are enough attendees to participate.


Here is the Zoom link to get you into the event:
