COVID-19 Preparedness and Response
The GHBA offices are now open Monday through Thursday, 9 am to 3 pm. The GHBA will not hold any in-person meetings or classes, but will shift previously scheduled luncheons to online webinars. We hope to resume in-person classes and luncheons soon.
The situation is fluid and more schedule changes may arise. Please consult ghba.org/calendar for the most recent event dates. In the meantime, your TEAM GHBA is always available via email or phone. Staff contact info
Additionally, we'd like to share some practical guidance for maintaining safe work practices, preventing the spread of the disease, and for small businesses in need of financial assistance. The following articles offer helpful advice and resources for dealing with the evolving COVID-19 threat.
