| You’re Invited!
Topic:
Tourism, Restaurants and Sporting Events…where are we now and what lies ahead.
About this Event:
The BAC is more than just a networking group or a think tank of service providers, nonprofits and employers coming together. It’s also a support network. That is why we will continue to hold our Business Advisory Council meetings throughout the COVID-19 crisis. Please join us for an insightful meeting May 12 on Zoom.
Generally, Goodwill provides lunch at these meetings. But under the current circumstances, this meeting will be a virtual pot luck! Prepare your favorite lunch and log on to learn how crisis is affecting the local tourism and hospitality industry, and how we might collectively help in the efforts going forward. I also want to give time and attention to all of you to share what’s on your mind or heart. Presenters are:
- Stephanie Brown, President and CEO of Explore Asheville
- Jane Anderson, Executive Director of the Asheville Independent Restaurant Association
- Demp Bradford, President of the Asheville Buncombe Regional Sports Commission
Things to do to prepare for the event:
1. Support a local restaurant by getting take-out to bring to the event
2. When you join, we encourage you to join with video so we can see your smiling face
3. Bring any questions you may have for this amazing group of speakers.
Once you have registered, a link to the meeting will be sent to you. |
