Since the "Safer at Home" Order was lifted, there have been many questions on how to move forward. We've worked to compile all of the local, state, and federal resources for our members to get back to business. Whether you are looking for state safety guidelines specific to your industry or financial assistance options available, we have put that information all together in one place for you.

The Chippewa County Department of Public Health has released a COVID-19 Business Toolkit and continues to ask businesses to follow the reopening guidelines put forth by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.  Please take special note that the guidelines are broken down by industry.
 
The Eau Claire City/County Department of Public Health asks businesses to follow their order signed on May 18.

The recent outbreak of Covid-19 is putting our families, communities, countries and economies under unprecedented pressure. Farmers are standing strong in the middle of this storm.  In the face of great uncertainty, the Chamber is hoping to express our gratitude to those keeping food on our table.  However, we need your help to determine the feasibility of this event. 
The Farmer Appreciation Dinner (formerly the June Dairy Day Dinner) has been postponed to Wednesday, August 19 at the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds.  The committee is working hard to safely provide a meal for the farmers and our community members in accordance with all regulations and guidelines:
  • All meals will be assembled away from the public in carryout containers
  • Drive through lane will be available for attendees not comfortable entering the building
  • Dinner seating will be spaced to ensure proper distancing.
In order to successfully run this event, the Chamber needs to have a commitment for 1,000 tickets (half of the usual ticket sales) prior to June 15.  Only then, will we begin advertising the event to farmers.

**New opportunity this year, Platinum and Gold sponsors have the opportunity to have a booth display at the event, a 10' x 10' area will be provided inside the building.**
