Join The Greater New York Chamber of Commerce as we host another edition of Small Business Friday - celebrating small business with a free online day of networking, resources and assistance.

First of all, I’d like to introduce myself briefly. My name is Augusto Castillo, and I’m one of the business development executives at Coorva. Coorva is a software development company that builds web platforms and mobile applications for our clients. One of my main activities is to expand our business across the United States.

Safety Center of America hosted a very informative webinar about the tools that you need to complete a business Safety Plan that meets the requirements of NY Forward. These resources will help you take all the steps needed to reopen your business, and feel more confident, professional and prepared. They discussed the NY Forward requirements, resources and instructions to complete your companies Safety Plan, COVID19 signage and educational posters to download and print. They discussed the 6 ft. distance between personnel, unless safety or core function of the work activity requires a shorter distance. Any time personnel are less than 6 ft. apart from one another, personnel must wear acceptable face coverings, post social distancing markers using tape or signs that denote 6 ft. of spacing in commonly used and other applicable areas on the site.

As we march towards economic justice and safety for all who live and work in our community; we need to remember that discrimination comes in many forms. Today, COVID 19 has exposed the economic discrimination in our system. The Greater NY Chamber has led the fight for $15 minimum wages in NY and now we see that our federal government is willing to pay unemployed low wage workers even more. Business needs labor and now there are Payroll Protection Program “PPP” loans” that are forgivable! Today June 19th 2020, we celebrate Juneteenth, a National Holiday that will help us remember Black History and the fact that we need more fairness and equal rights for everyone, regardless of the color of their skin. The Greater New York Chamber of Commerce commits to continuously fight and stand for freedom, justice and equality.

To further meet the needs of U.S. small businesses and non-profits, the U.S. Small Business Administration reopened the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and EIDL Advance program portal to all eligible applicants experiencing economic impacts due to COVID-19.

With overwhelming attendance and engagement and over the past few weeks, we are proud to bring you another edition of Small Business Friday's - This free online conference event will be held Friday, June 19th.
