COVID-19 has created a new reality that will require adjustment from our standard way of working. On a positive note, constraints tend to inspire innovation, so we wanted to bring together our members for a discussion on how to continue to operate and perhaps even thrive during the global pandemic.

During this session, we discussed the opportunities and challenges the COVID-19 pandemic is creating for businesses, and outline strategies for organizations to support entrepreneurs. The panelists will offered perspectives on facility operations, the well-being of clients and staff, and the financial well-being of programs and clients’ businesses.

InIBA members shared what solutions they’ve implemented, what’s working, what’s not working, and what they’re still trying to solve.
