The Cobb County Chamber of Commerce hosted
a nuts and bolts discussion in January on how
local businesses can take advantage of the latest
coronavirus relief package. Billed as a “Business
Recovery Webinar,” Chamber CEO and President
Sharon Mason and Chairman John Loud led a
panel discussion featuring attorneys, accountants,
and bankers to help small businesses navigate the
Paycheck Protection Program and other federal
relief funds.
Mason announced at the top of the program that
over 800 local business leaders participated in the
webinar. She said the chamber’s priority was to act
as a support network for businesses that may not
have the resources or knowledge to navigate the
relief programs on their own.
“We want to continue helping you with the
recovery, providing you the resources, being your
champion, (and) being your advocate at every level,”
Mason said.
Much of the discussion was dedicated to outlining some
of the crucial differences in this round of PPP loans versus
those doled out in the spring of 2020. To illustrate those
changes, the chamber brought on business leaders such as
Clark Hungerford, president of Vinings Bank; Jeff Fucito of
the Marietta-based accounting firm Mauldin and Jenkins,
Black Friday shoppers walking past stores in Town Center at Cobb
mall in Kennesaw in November 2020.
