Jointly Presented by the Cal Coastal Small Business Development Center and the Monterey County Business Council

As Governor Newsom rolls out the "phased" plan to reopen California, local leaders are working diligently to open up business here in Monterey County. Recognizing health and safety as the #1 priority, there are required operational changes that must be made in order to reopen.

Learn more about industry "checklists" that must be completed for childcare facilities, construction, agriculture, hospitality, real estate, retail, auto dealers, office buildings, and more.

Speaking on key industries for Monterey County in the webinar include:

• Small Business: Paul Farmer, President & CEO - Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce
• Hospitality: Rick Aldinger, General Manager - Big Sur River Inn
• Agriculture: Norm Groot, Executive Director - Monterey County Farm Bureau
• CA Checklists: Cindy Merzon, Director - Cal Coastal Small Business Development Center

This is a series of informative FREE webinars that will answer many of your questions as we move forward during COVID-19.

All registered attendees will receive a link to the webinar on Thursday, May 14. This will be hosted in Zoom.
