Thank you to everyone who was able to join us this morning. As promised, here's a recap of some of the most important topics we covered. There's a lot, but it's all worth a read. And stay tuned for more insights and resources in future emails.
- BUSINESS RESOURCES WEBSITE: With the help of the community, KCSourceLink set up a Business Resources and Updates page for entrepreneurs affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19). Please use this page, share with your businesses and let us know what's missing so we can keep this information updated and accurate.
- ENTREPRENEUR NEEDS SURVEY: Please help everyone assess the needs of the small business community by sharing this survey. We will collect the data to help guide policy and decision-makers as funds become available. We'll also be able to share these resources directly with entrepreneurs. We're culling through the responses and will share some highlights and data with you soon.
- AVAILABLE LOCAL RESOURCES: Please update your profiles as you pivot your programs and services, especially as they relate to those affected by the pandemic, so we can add those to a “Mini Resource Navigator.” We'll share that via the Coronavirus Business Resource page so it's easy for all businesses to access 24/7. This information will help KCSourceLink make the right referrals to your organizations as businesses call the hotline. We can also share this widget with you to post on your site.
- VIRTUAL TRAININGS AND EVENTS: Add your trainings and events to the KCSourceLink calendar (but make sure to include the details for your event 😊). We will continue our events newsletters (the next one is slated to go out early next week), and we can also promote your events on our social channels.
- NEW FACEBOOK GROUP: You asked us for a way to help Resource Partners stay in touch, so we've created a Facebook Group that you can request to join here.
Lastly, you wanted more ways to connect, so we will continue these virtual meetings every week, Thursdays at 8:30 a.m., through the end of April:
