Update from your Chamber President
Dear Chamber member –
I’m writing to you today to let you know that your Chamber, in partnership and communication with the City of Denton and the Denton County Public Health District, are working together to minimize the risk to our community from COVID-19, also known as the CoronaVirus.
We are closely monitoring incoming developments, communicating and working with our City officials and experts, and relaying the most accurate information for the betterment of the business community.
As you may have heard by now, Mayor Watts has issued a declaration of emergency. We stand unified with our city and county officials as they take on the tremendous responsibility of collaborating with community stakeholders to stay out in front of this situation, in the interest of mitigation and containment. Prevention is the best medicine.
I encourage you to disregard the growing amount of misinformation, speculation and rumor on social media platforms. Instead, please defer to trusted sources for information such as www.cdc.gov and our local health department.
We at the Chamber are aware of the immediate and impending financial burden a number of our local businesses are facing. Let’s all be mindful that the need to support our local businesses has perhaps never been greater. Many local businesses are now providing pick-up, curb-side delivery, and delivery options. Buy gift cards and use them at a later date. Please (wash your hands and) support your fellow Chamber members. This won’t be easy, but we are better and stronger together.

Until we learn more, the Chamber staff is on duty, but visits to the Chamber will be limited to “by appointment only”, extremely mindful of the threat, providing and utilizing hand sanitizer with constant reminders of health hygiene. We will be prepared should the need arise for an alternative plan of action and will keep you updated with information as it is available.
On call- Erica
