March Lunch with the “Pickle Ladies”!

October Lunch – Crisis Communication

You almost never expect a disaster to affect your business. While you may think a disaster is a major, physical event, it can also be as simple as your computers being hacked, a PR nightmare, an accident happening on your property and more.

It is crucial to get timely and accurate information distributed to customers, employees, vendors and the community during a disaster. Steve will explain what simple steps your company should have in place before, during and after a crisis hits.
