We had this conversation via conference bridge to adhere to the \u2018social distancing\u2019 requirements of this pandemic period.\n\nJack is in the middle of a number of things trying to help his business community as they navigate the restrictions and changing requirements of this pandemic. They have canceled their in person events and are shifting as much as they can to virtual events and the use of social media tools to help spread good information.\n\nWe talk about the reach of the current United Regional Chamber and some of their initiatives like: their Facebook page to \u201cRally \u2018round the Restaurants\u201d, a virtual \u2018Alive After 5\u201d networking event and a recharged Young Professionals Organization (YPO). YPO is something we\u2019ll likely hear more of as it is a business networking group for the 20-30-40 something crowd.\n\nThis conversation runs about 22 minutes, so listen to my conversation with Jack and see what we can do to help businesses during this time\n\n--------------\n\nFind the \u201cRally \u2018round the Restaurants\u201d page on Facebook and share your update for a restaurant\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/United-Regionals-Rally-round-the-Restaurants-109228560731634\n\nFind the United Regional page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UnitedRegional/\n\nFind the Young Professionals Organization (YPO) on Facebook\nhttps://www.facebook.com/UnitedRegionalYoungProfessionals/\n\nWe are now producing this in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm).\n\nThis podcast is my public service effort for Franklin but we can't do it alone.
