Vienna Road to Recovery: Best Practices for Re-Opening Your Business
Opportunity for business owners to discuss and learn ways to consider safe and smart best practices for reopening their business.About this Event
Over the last few months, we've all felt the impacts of the global health crisis. In the last week or two, we've also watched as areas across the country have begun to reopen their cities /towns and their businesses. In Virginia, the governor has targeted May 15 as the date for re-opening certain businesses, if the statewide downward trend of positive cases and hospitalizations continue.
Join the Town of Vienna's Economic Development Office and the Vienna Business Association for an online discussion with Karen Kerrigan, president and CEO of the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, as we discuss the next phase of the health crisis: recovery and reopening.
Topics / Questions for Discussion Include:
- How does the business community open safely andefficiently for the workforce and the public?
- Are there new business models to consider?
- What are trends in businesses that owners / entrepreneurs need to be aware of?
- What examples that from other communities and states that have re-opened their businesses in recent weeks can serve as learning opportunities?
