The Next 90 days: Business Recovery on the Sunshine Coast
June 25, 2020, 8:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
Free Online Business Forum | Thank you for participating!
On June 25th, we gathered for an important community conversation. If you missed it, there is still an opportunity to listen - register to receive the recording - learn - some great insights were shared - and most importantly, to be heard.
We are listening! It is critical for us to get back to business, and we want to understand what you most need now to help you do so. Your Sunshine Coast Business Recovery Task Force partners, and local elected officials, want to hear from YOU about how we can best help you in the next 90 days and beyond.
-
What does the future of business on the Sunshine Coast look like one year from now?
-
What do you need in the next 90 days from your community to feel steadied and prepared to get back on track under current conditions?
-
How have you adapted or pivoted successfully and where do you need support?
