As we all work to find a “new normal” in the midst of the pandemic, CPRO knows that working together and sharing our experiences is more important than ever. That is why we’ve hosting a series of online listening sessions. We heard from community leaders and local businesses as they shared what their biggest hurdles have been, the opportunities that have arisen, and the resources available to help us all get through these difficult times.
Please stay tuned as we work to coordinate additional listening sessions. Our first Community Listening Session and Business Listening Session are posted below.
