COVID-19 Update + Support for Businesses

The Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce is closely monitoring the novel coronavirus, also referred to as COVID-19. We would like to provide you with resources as you develop or contribute to your communication management plans within your businesses. Considering this illness is evolving quickly, we encourage you to look to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the most up-to-date guidance so you may make informed decisions as it pertains to the health and safety of your workplace.

As we continue to monitor and follow the status of COVID-19, be sure to check our events calendar, social media, and emails from CWCC with updates regarding programs, events, and meetings. These may change or cancel.

If you, or anyone you have come into contact with recently, are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, sneezing, respiratory distress, etc. we ask that you stay home.

As a service to fellow members, and the business community in general, please use these articles and resources to support your businesses’ strategic response.

Have a resource you’d like to add? Email us at info@cwcc.org.
