INSIDE THIS ISSUE
Since the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) crisis began a few weeks ago, your Chamber has been gathering data to help our member businesses and community work through this together.

A special web page, that is updated regularly, was developed to provide you with information and resources to help your business. We encourage you to review this page often at www.rochesternh.org/COVID-19 as information continues to be updated. We are living in very unfamiliar surroundings. Social Distancing is the new plan of action. To help limit the spread of the virus, the Governor issued a Stay at Home order, other than for essential businesses. Many have closed their businesses in an effort to keep employees and the public safe. To limit gatherings, an executive order was placed forcing restaurants to close their doors to dining patrons and only provide takeout and delivery services. Schools have been closed and students are now undergoing remote learning. As an organization that brings members together to network and gather at events, the Chamber cancelled or postponed some of its upcoming events. And meetings are currently being done remotely. As we continue to assess the impact on business, we ask that you complete a short survey. Your Chamber is speaking regularly with City, State and Federal officials to communicate the impact and discuss methods and programs to ease the burden. The link to the survey can be found on our home page or here. We continue to reach out to you to hear how your business is managing and learn of adjustments that are being made to your operations. We are issuing weekly e-blasts and social media posts to help you communicate to customers and the public. Please see inside to learn about our new campaign—”We’re Open for Business”. Please submit your business updates to memberservices@rochesternh.org.
We are Here to Help You See how you can Promote Your Business.
Your business is important to us and we will work together to overcome this challenging time.
