The Arizona Commerce Authority in conjunction with the Arizona Restaurant Association, League of Cities and Towns and the County Supervisors Association have launched a weekly initiative to aid state businesses in navigating the perilous COVID-19 pandemic, said the National Federation of Independent Business in a report. 

Live weekly sessions will be held via Zoom where community stakeholders can learn about strategies to navigate the coronavirus pandemic and develop meaningful mentorship connections with other leaders.

Commerce Authority have explained the program as a “statewide initiative supported by a dynamic group of community partners including local business leaders and subject matter experts that provide real-time support and available resources across Arizona in live, weekly sessions." 

More information about the weekly sessions can be found here. Another pertinent document recently released for restaurant owners is retrievable here regarding the extension of outdoor premises. Community-led programs such as these are critical to ensuring small business owners receive the information they need to navigate through the coronavirus by safely generating profits and keeping customers and employees safe.
