EDC BUSINESS ALERT- New COVID-19 Business, Self-Employed and Employee Benefit Webinar Series and Business Resource Hotline

Good Afternoon Clients, Partners and Friends,

It is truly an extraordinary time. Thank you for your partnership, support and grace as we have all made necessary and sometimes uncomfortable adjustments to meet this moment. In the brief period of time since March 13^th, EDC has engaged with and directed nearly 1,000 businesses in Ventura and Santa Barbara County. By comparison, we serve approximately 900 businesses annually. One can see the tremendous need for clarity and guidance during this time.

NEW COVID-19 BUSINESS, NON-PROFIT, SELF-EMPLOYED AND EMPLOYEE WEBINAR SERIES

To help support the volume of requests for assistance EDC is launching a webinar series starting this Friday @ 1:00 pm to help businesses, non-profits, self-employed individuals and employees navigate the CARES Act and expanded benefits under EDD. Moving forward, we will be hosting webinars weekly every Wednesday from 12:30-1:30. Registration is required in advance and space is limited. You can find the registration link on our webpage www.edcollaborative.com/covid19

EDC BUSINESS RESOURCE HOTLINE

In addition to our webinar series, we have created a Business Resource Hotline (805.409.9159) to help answer questions and direct the business and non-profit community to available resources. We hope that adding these new opportunities will increase our capacity to serve the Ventura and Santa Barbara community.
