This micro-summit will be held virtually at 10 am ET on Friday, May 29, 2020. Please register to receive Zoom details.

Join to hear expert panelists examine how communities can safeguard public health amid the steady reopening of the economy though policy.

Panelists:

Dara Lieberman, Director of Government Relations for Trust for America’s Health
Dr. Matthew Minson, Senior Advisor for Health Affairs at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Former State, Local, and Federal Health Official)
Brooks Nelson, Senior Director at US Chamber of Commerce Foundation
David Newville, Prosperity Now’s Vice President of Policy and Research
Kevin Parker, New York State Senator

Panelists will discuss the guidelines, policies, and regulations we should be leaning on as states reopen. The discussion will identify ways to make these policies practical as employees return to their workplaces with an emphasis on protecting the public health of our community members. Speakers will also touch on what businesses are doing to address these considerations as they work to re-open. Building from lessons learned from the experiences of the essential workers, our panelists will unpack how cities and states should impose physical distancing while re-opening. Some other topics of discussion will include the role of state licensing and inspection in enforcing local and recommendations for reopening.
