Presented by SMART and the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce, this webinar will provide resources and insight for businesses dealing with the impacts of the current COVID-19 situation.

In this session, we'll hear an update to the CARES Act with Chris Eyler with the US Chamber. The CARES Act passed at the end of March was meant to provide much needed relief to small businesses. Unfortunately, the need far outpaced the original appropriation and congress was able to pass additional funding to help more small businesses gain access to both the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and the Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP). Come learn more about the newly expanded legislation, what to expect and how to best position you and your business to take advantage of the support available.

Speakers include:
- Chris Eyler, Executive Director, Congressional and Public Affairs, US Chamber of Commerce

This will be 50-minute webinar, with ample time for audience Q&A.
