On Thursday, the Washington State Small Business Liaison Team kicked off a series of webinars entitled Small Business Requirements and Resources (SBRR) COVID-19 Impact. This webinar provides a quick overview of some of the state responses, resources and other impacts affecting small businesses.
You’ll also learn about:
- The Small Business Liaison’s team response to COVID-19. Important messages from representatives of different state departments.
- Getting unstuck – where to get further information and assistance to help you weather through this challenging period.
- Small business recovery conversations.
The webinar includes brief presentations from six state department partners. The webinar moderator uses this engagement format:
- Each presenter speaks sharing their Power Point slides.
- After each presenter the moderator will take several questions from the chat room.
- After all presenters, we transition to the dedicated Q & A “open-mic.” Participants direct their question to the presenters, either using their computer microphones or in the chat.

- Employment Security Department: unemployment insurance, federal CARES Act, emergency rules, paid family and medical leave.
