As everyone adjusts to the new social distancing requirements, ABC of Western Washington asked us to help them to put together a video conference forum, so that local business leaders could maintain their connections with one another now, when we need one another the most. We’re calling it the Remote Weekly Business Forum with ABC and Arcade.

In our first session, we talked about:



* Order 20-25 and the Construction Guidance Memorandum

* How do you know if your project is essential?

* The Families First Coronavirus Act (and we’ll be talking about this more in the next session)

* The fact the no one needs a pass or registration to be at essential jobsites

* Screenings and other important steps to take to keep your essential teams healthy

* Tracking Impacts

* Ways to help your team out if you can’t afford to pay everyone their full wages right now
