Is your business offering Mother's Day specials?
|
Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 10 this year and it looks like we're still going to be under lockdown, so this is your opportunity to get the word out about specials you may be planning.
Please let us know if your business is planning on something special for the moms out there -- perhaps a takeout or delivery brunch, a Mother's Day sale, or maybe a special digital gift card to minimize contact with other people -- and we'll help promote it over the next two weeks.
Please send your Mother's Day specials to

From Social Distance To The New Sociability
|
Wednesday, April 29, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
What the Future Holds for Nightlife and the Social Economy
VIRTUAL HAPPY HOURS, STREAMING CONCERTS AND ZOOM dates are some of the ways people are connecting in digital spaces. As hard as it is to imagine, sometime soon, people will be allowed to re-enter social spaces.
Virtual connections will be replaced with in-real-life connections. Friends, coworkers, family and loved ones will reunite in cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars, nightclubs and music venues. These will be the spaces where stories will be shared and healing will take place with food, drink, music and dance.
Now is the time to prepare for social districts to re-open to ensure a smooth recovery for this vital industry. New standards are already being developed for venues. However, a coordinated approach has not yet been considered on a district-wide or city-wide level.

DC Chamber of Commerce’s Employer Advocacy Program
|
Please join the
DC Chamber of Commerce’s Employer Advocacy Program on Thursday, April 30, 2020
, from 11:00 AM until 12:30 PM for our quarterly Employment Law Seminar on Unemployment Updates and Issues from The Federal C.A.R.E.S. Act, The Families First Coronavirus Response Act, The DC COVID-19 Response Supplemental Emergency Amendment Act and the DC Declaration of Emergency Leave Requirement.
As the Coronavirus public health crisis continues to impact individuals and economies across the globe, there are evolving workforce management questions and changes to navigate at both the local and federal levels. With the recent federal unemployment expansion in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the employer mandates that fall under the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) employers must be equipped with information not only for compliance but to ensure your workplace policies and procedures are keeping up with the changing employment law landscape. It is important that employers understand the Unemployment Compensation Program and Claims Process During COVID-19 and the legislative changes made to employment protections and emergency leave to address employees impacted by the Coronavirus.
To help employers understand these modifications and expansions and how it will impact workers and businesses we ask you to join us on April 30th
.
This event is free and open to all local businesses. It will take place virtually via video conference. All participants are asked to register in advance by April 29, 2020 at

campaigns of WWI and WWII -- to help draw attention to our 100+ restaurants and employees that are facing an uncertain future. Please join in via your own social media accounts using the hashtag
#BuyRestaurantBonds
Please tag us in your social media posts about the operating status of your business so we can pass the information along.
