Message from the Chamber
As information regarding the impact of COVID-19 continues to evolve, we are seeking to keep our members and community safe and informed of the various resources and avenues of assistance.
At this time, our office remains open—meaning, working remotely, while also maintaining “single occupancy” in-office days during regular hours. Most importantly, we are here for you and available via email or phone.
In the interest of keeping everyone safe, and knowing that these are very uncertain times for all, we postponed all events through the end of April. And we will continue to assess future scheduling and planning as the situation progresses.
And we are continually working with and monitoring information from local, state and federal government agencies, as well as other organizations and the business community, to help our members and the overall community best respond to this very challenging and stressful situation.
Please let us know if you have any questions, or need any information or assistance.
We will get through this—together. Be safe and be well.
Brian Griffin, Chamber President

With the release of the governor’s report, the Reopen Connecticut Advisory Group has adjourned its activities and will no longer meet, however the governor said he will remain in contact with its members over the coming months as the situation continues to develop. |
