We’re also very pleased that earlier today, the U.S. Senate approved the “Families First Coronavirus Response Act,” which will provide immediate relief to American workers and families during this challenging time. For more information about the package, please see our press release issued this afternoon.
Lastly, our advocacy efforts on the federal response are being guided by what we are hearing from our members and state/local chamber partners. As such, please relay any information to us that you believe we should be aware of as you hear from your members. This information is extremely helpful to us as we determine where to focus our efforts.
Again, we will provide as much information as possible as I receive it. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
