The #ReadyToOpen / #OpenTogether initiative, in partnership with KRQE Media Group was created to help businesses navigate the re-open guidelines set forth by the state in the "COVID - SAFE PRACTICES" Handbook for employers:
This handbook helps guide employers and employees through the re-opening phases safely while using best practices to limit the spread of COVID 19. It is informative and also covers frequently asked questions.
#ReadyToOpen
The #ReadyToOpen initiative includes 3 basic blocks to help get your business re-opened. These simple steps will serve a checklist so you can safely re-open with the best possible message to the public:
These 3 simple business blocks, you help you navigate a successful re-opening. Now that you have completed the Ready To Open steps, the Hispano Chamber is ready to help you with the Chamber Advocacy phase.
#OpenTogether
The next step in our initiative is the #OpenTogether phase, for which Hispano Chamber members will receive the following benefits. This 2 steps is for MEMBERS ONLY, will not only help the public know that you are open, your new hours and a list of your products and services, but it will also help the Hispano members to share your business information.
