Event Description:
Virtual Lunch Talk with State Senator Laura Murphy, the SBA Administration and more. To help small business owners affected by the COVID-19 outbreak explore their financial assistance options, State Senator Laura Murphy (D-Des Plaines) will co-host a virtual meeting with the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, April 16 at noon.
“Social distancing measures are necessary to keep people healthy and safe, but our small businesses are now facing lost revenue and layoffs,” said Murphy. “I hope that the programs discussed on this call can help relieve some of that financial stress.”
The call will focus on economic issues facing the small business community as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and will feature presentations from financial experts.
Jonathan McGee, Assistant Deputy Director for Regional Economic Development at the Illinois Department of Economic Opportunity, will discuss the $60 million Illinois Small Business Emergency Loan Fund. Bo Steiner, District Director of the Illinois office of the U.S. Small Business Administration, will also be on hand to explain the grant and loan opportunities that are available to struggling businesses in Illinois under the federal CARES Act.
All interested businesses and employees are encouraged to register for the event on the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce website, where they can also find dial-in instructions and a link to join the meeting. In order to make sure questions are fully answered, participants are encouraged to email their questions to laura@senatorlauramurphy.com before the start of the meeting.
Murphy regularly updates her Facebook and Twitter with information about the COVID-19 outbreak, including resources available to businesses. With further questions, residents can contact her office by calling 847-718-1110 or visiting senatorlauramurphy.com/contact-us.
