COVID-19 Resources for Businesses
UPDATED 4/21/20
As your regional professional development association, SEDC is committed to providing you with useful information to help make your organization, and thus your community, more successful.
At this unprecedented time in our history, all our communities are struggling. While everyone's first concern is to stay healthy, we also want to help local businesses, so when the health crisis is over, they will be able to reopen.
Therefore, SEDC has started an online page, "COVID-19 Resources for Businesses." Here we will have links to federal agencies that will be assisting businesses, health-related links for up to date information from reliable sources, and some links to help us cope as individuals.
In addition, we have a section on information and programs from 17 states in our region. Here, you will see what other states are doing in our region to assist businesses, and hopefully, you will pick up some "best practices."
This list will be updated frequently over the coming months to provide our members with the timeliest information available. If your state isn't listed, please send any links of such programs you know of to Matthew Darius (matthew@sedc.org), and he will add them.
