Hosted by Tim Giuliani, Orlando Economic Partnership President and CEO, this inaugural episode of The C.E.O. podcast covers the assistance and aid available to local businesses in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Everyday life is changed because of COVID-19 and here at the Partnership we’re dedicated to helping businesses get back on their feet so they can provide the vital services and products that move our economy along. Recovery in Orlando, and around the U.S., should be carefully thought through. As small businesses work to navigate a complicated emergency funding system, information is critical. Now, more than ever, it’s important to know what can/should be doing to stay in business and begin the recovery process.
This is C.E.O.
