During the COVID-19 mitigation mandates, The Chamber immediately tookaction to promote those small businesses that were able to operate. We provided financial relief to small businesses to help pay their bills, and prepared forreopening business while mitigating the spread of the virus. The Chamber’s Public Policy & Government Affairs team has consulted hundreds of members regarding the status of their business (life-sustaining vsnon-life-sustaining); Unemployment benefits for workers, filing for PandemicUnemployment Assistance (PUA) for independent contractors, gig workers andsole props; PA DCED, CARES, and PPP loans and bank connections; Pennsylvania’s color coded phases of reopening; as well as digging for answers to the restof the Governor’s mandates and announcements. The Chamber has been in daily contact with our local, state and federal public officials by phone, email andletter correspondence to stand-up for the needs of Lehigh Valley businesses. Immediately after the shutdown orders, The Chamber set up a COVID ResourceGuide page on our website which serves as a clearinghouse of pertinent, up-todate information regarding public health, safety, and other useful resources tohelp businesses make appropriate decisions. The Resource Guide also servesas a hub for businesses to get up-to-date information on employee resources,information from federal, state and county agencies, financial support information, guidelines for reopening and information from the PA Department ofHealth. We launched #OpenWeStandLV to encourage residents to support our localbusinesses by taking advantage of the creative solutions some have implemented to provide their product or service to the community. #OpenWeStandLVfeatures hundreds of retailers and restaurants on every Main Street. In April, to help small businesses during the coronavirus pandemic, The Chamber dispensed grants in three phases totaling 350,000 through its LehighValley COVID-19 Relief Fund. We sincerely thank our partners, including:BB&T, now Truist, The Chamber, David Jaindl, Equinox Benefits Consulting,Capital BlueCross, Dynegy, ESSA Bank, Wells Fargo, Walmart/Sam’s Club andAmazon.com, as well as the individual donors. (should they be named?) To datethe fund has provided 320 small business owners in Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe,Northampton and Warren (NJ) counties with grants of 500 to 1,500 each.

The Chamber worked with our health systems, including St. Luke’s UniversityHealth Network and Lehigh Valley Health Network, as well as a number of localand state government officials to provide timely messaging to the public aboutflattening the curve, social distancing, personal hygiene and much more. Publicservice announcements have been incorporated as weekly updates on our Business Matters TV show featuring experts from across the region. Chamber President Tony Iannelli has led the “Gotta Get Back!” movementthrough his “Coming Back From COVID” video series, billboards, radio appearances, and newspaper columns. The Chamber has worked to provide up-to-date information for the best way tonavigate reopening facilities to the public whether it is for proper sanitizationof high-touch surfaces or supplies/infrastructure needs to ensure public healthsafety. We have created a page for business to go to for accurate resources onreopening procedures at #ReOpenLV. The Chamber has provided and will continue to schedule important WebinarPrograms to inform members on the latest guidelines and information on subjects like CARES Act, PPP Loan Forgiveness, Employment Law, and Transitioning Back to your Workspace. We’ve also provided a continuous opportunity forindividuals to connect virtually, through free networking sessions scheduledweekly. Our Hispanic Chamber has developed similar messaging and information forour Latino and Hispanic community. As we champion for best practices and adherence to following CDC, OSHA andstate and local government guidelines, we will be encouraging our members andlocal businesses to sign The Vow of The Valley. Signers of The Vow commit tofollow the proper guidelines for reopening and to support one another as theregion works together to ensure safety for everyone – our businesses and thecommunity at large.1
