Mike Steele, Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce
CHELAN - Much has been happening over the past week with Washington State’s response to COVID-19. Our regional Chambers and Downtown Associations have been in constant contact working on ways to help reopen our local economies. This includes supporting the efforts of our County Commissioners and Health Department on an application submittal to the Secretary of Health requesting a variance that would allow Chelan and Douglas Counties to move into phase 1.5. Although that request was denied, we continue to work on innovative approaches to quicken the pace of reopening our economies.
The Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce has established an Economic Recovery Committee and we have been busy developing our own guidelines for safe business operational procedures that keep our Community Members, Customers, Employees and Visitors safe and healthy. We have also created a document that outlines the “Lake Chelan Community Guarantee. This guarantee can be posted in the windows of your businesses as we begin to offer more curbside options for our community. Later this week we will also be sending out a template that you can apply your own business logo to for your individual business use. You can download both the guideline document adapted from the U.S. Travel Association and the Lake Chelan Community Guarantee. These documents are suggestions and offer ways we can all uniformly create a quality customer experience here in the Lake Chelan Valley.
We will be begin holding a series of business sector specific calls over the next two weeks. For more information go to lakechelan.com
