Join ChamberRVA and Independence Golf Club for this informational and networking gathering. This gathering will begin with a conversation related to Disaster Preparedness and Response with a focus on Business Recovery led by Joshua Barnes, Recovery Director of the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience at the U.S. Small Business Administration. The emphasis on business recovery is to promote resilience through better understanding and collaboration between the government and business sectors. You can expect to interact and engage with your peers as we all discuss the following:

• Educate and Equip: Empower government officials, emergency managers, business leaders and other stakeholders with the essential tools and understanding to navigate the mulifaceted landscape of business recovery post-disruption. 
• Bridge the Gap: Highlight and address the contrasts between business and government emergency planning while enhancing mutual collaboration.
• Promote Preparedness: Advocate for proactive business planning and preparedness, minimizing disruptive event aftermath and hastening recovery processes.
• Foster Engagement: Sustain engagement between governmental units, emergency management experts, and the business sector, aiming to establish resilience partnerships.

After this informational session, we'll be networking with each other and making valuable connections. This is a great way to share time with your ChamberRVA peers, new or old.
