March 16, 2020

Dear Fresno Chamber of Commerce members, community partners, and friends:

As the situation with the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases across the world continues  to evolve, the Fresno Chamber of Commerce, like all businesses, continues to react to changes in directives from local, state and federal authorities. We are working to prioritize the health and  safety of our staff, volunteers and members while working diligently to serve the needs of all Fresno businesses during this unprecedented period.

Effective immediately, the Chamber office is closed to the public until further notice. Members requiring assistance with certificates of origin or other essential business can contact the office at (559) 495-4800 to make an appointment.

All Chamber programs and in-person meetings currently slated for the month of March have been cancelled. This includes:
• Mixers and ribbon cuttings
• Leadership Fresno class day
• Lunch and Learn programs
• Junior Board programs

The Chamber will continue to utilize our website and social media channels to distribute official information and recommendations from local, state and federal health authorities as appropriate, as well as act as a resource to share information on how businesses and employees can react to the virus and its effects. We are also working to develop online programs that all Fresno businesses can use as a resource for information to assist their employees and ensure stability during this difficult period. We recognize that the situation is very fluid, and we will remain in contact with local authorities and evaluate the situation daily to ensure the health and safety of our members, staff and the general public.

Special Announcement – Coronavirus

March 12, 2020

Dear Fresno Chamber of Commerce members, community partners, and friends:

Like most businesses and organizations worldwide, the Fresno Chamber of Commerce has been monitoring the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases and weighing the impact of the virus on our events and activities.

The Chamber has been in contact with the Fresno County Department of Public Health (FCDPH) regarding COVID-19 and is aware of Governor Newsom’s executive order regarding community events larger than 250 people. FCDPH is not currently recommending cancellation of smaller community events, and we anticipate that Chamber programs in March and April will have attendance of less than 250. Therefore, all Chamber programs, activities and events currently slated for March and April will proceed as scheduled at this time. The FCDPH has developed plans to limit new exposure of COVID-19 and address the public’s concerns as they arise.

Our office will remain open during normal working hours. However, in an abundance of caution, we have deployed additional hand sanitizers throughout our facility, have directed Chamber employees to remain home if they display any symptoms, and instituted a temporary “no-handshake” policy.

While Chamber programs will continue, we encourage all attendees to follow hygiene protocols set forth by health officials, including:

  • Wash hands with soap and water
  • Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick
  • Stay away from other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough

The Chamber will continue to utilize our website and social media channels to distribute official information and recommendations from local, state and federal health authorities as appropriate, as well as act as a resource to share information on how businesses and employees can react to the virus and its effects. We recognize that the situation is very fluid, and we will remain in contact with local authorities and evaluate the situation daily to ensure the health and safety of our members, staff and the general public.

Sincerely,

Nathan Ahle
President/CEO
Fresno Chamber of Commerce
