Protecting Your Business in an Uncertain Economy
This webinar is an initiative of the Chicagoland Chamber’s Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Task Force.
The unrest in recent months has exposed businesses to a whole new set of challenges, particularly for minority-owned businesses who have been disproportionately affected. From recouping losses as a result of property damage to ensuring that your business has the insurance and other necessary safeguards in place to ensure business continuity, this session will offer practical tips for MBE’s looking to stabilize their operations amid a very uncertain business environment. Presenters include:
