About this Event

The business landscape has shifted and we need to shift too.

In this 90-minute virtual session, you'll learn how to apply COVID benefits to your small business, and how to strategize to continue operating during physical distancing and essential service restrictions.

Join us as business strategist Jacquie Costron and CPA Rhonda Neulander provide clarity on the COVID-19 benefits.

Together, we'll explore the possibilities of our new reality, so that we can prepare to prosper as we move our businesses forward in spite of current circumstances.
