| As a Chamber of Commerce leader, I want to thank you for the huge role you are playing in relaunching Florida's economy through the work you are doing in your community. As Florida moves further into Phase 2 of relaunching our economy, one question that is top of mind for job providers is, “when will our economy fully recover?” Many people are also wondering what other tools and resources America has up its sleeves to stabilize the economy should we experience a resurgence of the coronavirus. The Florida Chamber is excited to announce that Atlanta Federal Reserve President and CEO Dr. Raphael Bostic will join us for an important discussion on the economy - Thursday, June 25 from 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. EDT. We invite you and your members to join us and have your questions answered by Dr. Bostic and Florida Chamber Foundation Chief Economist Dr. Jerry Parrish. The business community has important questions and we look forward to learning more. To help ensure your questions are addressed, please complete our questionnaire as part of the registration process. Thanks again for all you are doing to help move Florida in the right direction. Your hard-work and determination is smartly and safely bringing Florida businesses back online. We look forward to your participation in this informative webinar. |
