Apr 16    2020 April Virtual Luncheon
April Virtual Luncheon
 
The Federal CARES Act:
Major Provisions, Implementation and Resources
  • Program with Q&A from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m.
  • Virtual networking from 1:00 to 1:30 p.m.
(Please note time change from usual luncheon schedule)
 
Keeping up with all the news these days is challenging--that's why we've asked Ryan Gleason from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to share information at our April membership luncheon about the Federal CARES Act. This virtual luncheon will cover aspects of the legislation that apply to employers, small business owners and independent contractors, including information about the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans and paid leave.
 
Please join us for an informative presentation followed by a moderated Q&A to get your questions answered. Note that rather than "meeting" prior to the luncheon, we'll connect via Zoom at noon and allow an extra 30 minutes for virtual networking following the presentation.
Date: April 16, 2020
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Location: Wheaton Chamber is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
