Usually every year we have a official Oklahoma T-shirt that we wear at the National Conference Plenary Session. I know some of you did not know that like Jacob...and Lynna...and Natalie...and Nancy...and Jennie...and Melyn....OH WAIT, Melyn you probably knew about that...and Danel...and Jamie...and Sarah. But it is true, we actually do. So a person in one of our communities, I won't say who (it was Okmulgee, but not Heather) made a suggestion that we go to the Oklahoma Official Shop at www.shoptravelok.com and use our new State logo as our official shirt!!! So you can all individually go to the website and order the shirt directly from the shop. We would like the shirt to be either black or white....Hee Hee! (done in the voice of Michael Jackson) Now for some reason, they have the black shirts in a separate section from the white shirts. I did not design the website! But to make it easier for you, I have the links to both below: BLACK SHIRT https://www.shoptravelok.com/collections/oklahoma/products/state-t-shirt-1 WHITE SHIRT https://www.shoptravelok.com/collections/oklahoma/products/state-t-shirt Another tradition that we also used to do was get in front of the whole conference and sing "Oklahoma". Yeah, I think the shirt is enough!!!

Sorry for the delay in getting this out. I ended up having to help a friend move her son's stuff home from college today. Resiliency is the name of the game at this point, isn't it? This will be the first of a couple of follow ups in the next few days. If you missed the webinar or would like to share it, here's the link: https://youtu.be/PU2FedufySE In the coming few days, you will get the following, either from me or from Derek: 1) an invitation to sign up for the Industry Cohort collaboration groups we talked about 2) information about some of the emerging curated resources that are being developed, including the ones AMIBA is working on, 3) A Google Doc to crowdsource questions, answers and good ideas (starting with the items in this chat log), and 4) information on new webinars, Ask Me Anythings and other events. Finally, I do have two requests for y'all: 1) If you do not already get AMIBA's newsletter, please sign up for it at AMIBA.net. Just sit there a couple of seconds and the newsletter subscription box will pop up. I am currently having to send these emails in small batches to avoid spam filters, and it's taking forever. So help us be able to use our time better, and use the AMIBA newsletter to get good information out to you all. 2) if you or your organization can do it, please consider joining AMIBA. There are membership levels for every size of organization or business, starting at less than $5 a month. As we mentioned, AMIBA was in the process of big changes before most of us knew what a Coronavirus is, and your support will help us give you better resources and support. You can learn more and sign up at amiba.net/join-amiba. Thanks again to all of you for everything you are doing and will do for your local communities, economies and businesses.

But the key to being an effective nonprofit communicator during this crisis is to be proactive, not reactive. Of course, Seth Godin wrote the perfect blog post on this - React, respond or initiate? [https://jcsocialmarketing.noclick_com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/communityactionresponse.jpg] Second: Follow the 3 Cs. Right now, all communications need to be three things: 1) Clear. People are in fight-or-flight response. Brains are addled. Notifications are ringing. In a "normal" time, it's hard to grab attention and keep it. During a crisis period, it's almost impossible. Almost. Be crystal clear as to the purpose of your message. Why are you sending this? Why now? And what is the response that you want, if any? Are you letting me know something or do you want me to do something? Keep the call to action at the top. [Amnesty UK Coronavirus]Amnesty UK Coronavirus tweet 2) Concise. What can you cut out? After writing a post or an email, see what you can delete. Is this sentence or this image necessary? Less is always more but right now, get straight to the point. Make the call-to-action prominent and very easy to see and to complete. [Virtual Shavee event]St. Baldrick's Foundation promotes it's Virtual Shavee event 3) Compassionate. Once you've created your message, evaluate it to be sure that it shows true compassion for your audience. They are scared, unsure, and stressed. These are your community members, your donors, the people who make your work possible. You care about them. Show it. [Kind Bury shares resources via Twitter and Facebook]Kind Bury shares resources via Twitter and Facebook This is of UTMOST importance. I saw a Facebook post yesterday from one of my favorite restaurants that unfortunately, came off pretty tone deaf, petulant, and indignant. It blamed the Governor for closing in-person dining, accused it's customers of being scared to come inside so that it now has to provide curbside service, and just showed an overall lack of empathy for what its customers are going through. Not a good look. I understand that you may be angry. That's normal. This is an unprecedented time. There is no rule book. But we have to let these feelings of hopelessness and anger pass. They are not productive emotions.

When Everyone Counts, Everyone Wins! “Okay business managers - so it’s a slow time for your company. You’re not thinking about closing the shop are you? We’re experiencing an unusual period. The stock market is way down but it will turn around. It always does. A lot of people are staying at home. In some communities, the local mayor has closed public meeting places like restaurants and bars. As a business owner, what will be your response? It should be So What. You have worked hard for your company. Prepare to work a little harder. Here area few ideas. A. Review your customer lists for the last 5 years- what’s that, you don’t have a customer list? Tsk,tsk. For those companies that do, send out a mailer that describes your delivery services. Include your new products, special pricing and how convenient you make it for customers. Offer a special promotion to former customers to entice them back. Five years- why so long ago. Customers leave a company for a number of reasons. How has your customer base changed? Can you bring back lost customers? B. How’s that “on-line” market doing? An easily traveled and understandable website could be your new best friend. If you haven’t changed your website recently, get busy. What are the incentives offered to first time buyers? How much do you charge for delivery! (If it’s any larger than zero, think about it.) C. Does your company email shoppers regularly? This is especially important for cafes. Send them your daily specials and remind all about you speedy delivery service. Send emails to remind customers about birthdays, anniversaries and other special dates for their friends and relatives. Include suggestions about gifts and your delivery service. D. Have you adjusted store hours for your business? Remind customers that they can order merchandise after 5:00 pm and before 9:00 am. It’s more time for you and more convenience for shoppers. “Call forwarding” relays calls to your company to your home. Just because customers aren’t coming to your place of business doesn’t mean you can’t connect w them. E. Never say no to customers. If you can’t meet their requests, offer an alternative and why it’s a good option. Show customers you will go out of your way to help them. If they want to return an item, take it back - no problem. Offer a substitute if that makes a customer happy. Certainly, never require a receipt for a return. Other activities to do include - * Inventory- a slow market is an excellent opportunity to count your stock (on premises and off). * Clean up - dust those shelves, cabinets and merchandise. Clean the floors and wash the windows. A little air freshener goes a long way but don’t try to conceal a dirty store with an aroma. * Window displays -if your business has the advantage of display windows - make them sparkle. Be creative and informative. * Stay informed and be aware - news about the virus and the economy change quickly." Always make it convenient to your customers. Loyalty is the goal. What’s that mean. Customers may not always buy from you but they will always give your business a look.” Sent from my iPad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

With a few members of the Legislature and their staff testing positive for COVID-19 and the state Capitol remaining closed to the public, the House and Senate have no plans at this time to meet at the state Capitol next week. However, their business will continue remotely. In addition to legislative activity, the State Board of Education voted on Wednesday to move all public school students to digital learning platforms beginning April 6 through the end of the school year. All public school buildings will remain closed to students for the remainder of the school year. On Tuesday, Gov. Kevin Stitt amended Executive Order 2020-07 for the fourth time to list out essential and nonessential businesses. Key to this executive order is provisions that require certain businesses to remain closed from March 26, 2020 to April 16, 2020. Specifically, this will apply to businesses that: are not identified as being within a critical infrastructure sector or exempt under executive memorandum 2020-01 and are located within a county experiencing community spread of COVID-19. (This does not apply to restaurants and bars providing pick-up and delivery orders.) To read the full executive order, including language related to a temporary suspension on certain dental and medical procedures, bans on social gatherings and a stay-at-home order impacting vulnerable populations, click here. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce provided this consolidated list of essential industries pursuant to Gov. Stitt’s Executive Order 2020-07. If you have questions or believe your business should be considered essential, complete the form available here.

The State Chamber has worked closely with the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission (OESC) and Executive Director Robin Roberson. She has issued an order to waive this tax increase on employers through the end of the year. This will ensure our state can still support employees in need of unemployment benefits while providing for recovery of the unemployment insurance fund and Oklahoma’s economy. You can read the order here. Additionally, OESC has also waived the work search requirement for claimants during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many employers, out of concern for their employees, have decided to move forward with layoffs so employees could qualify for unemployment benefits. But, a reduction in hours (to less than 32 per week) will allow an employee to qualify for benefits. This allows employers to keep valued employees on staff and provide them with the assistance they need during these uncertain times. Unemployment insurance was created to respond to situations like the economic disruption created by the COVID-19 pandemic. To expedite the processing of claims, OESC is encouraging claimants to file online. The State Chamber thanks OESC Executive Director Robin Roberson and her team for their dedication to Oklahoma’s workers and employers.

The U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate passed the CARES Act, the legislation known as "Phase III" of Congress' COVID-19 recovery package. The CARES Act will provide nearly $2 trillion in aid for American workers and employers. The legislation now moves to President Trump for his signature. Provisions of the bill include: · Relief to small businesses through the "Paycheck Protection Program," an SBA 7(a) loan program primarily intended for payroll for workers · Expansion of unemployment benefits to the self-employed, independent contractors, gig workers and others · Making small changes to the paid sick leave program implemented under the "Phase II" legislation, including capping the maximum amount of payments and clarifying that workers who are re-hired are eligible for paid leave · Direct financial assistance through "recovery checks" to American households · More support for hospitals and front-line health care workers to address supply shortages, speed vaccine development and encourage telehealth A full summary of the bill from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is available here. Also, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) announced its first round of guidance on how the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), also known as “Phase II” of Congress' COVID-19 recovery package, will impact employers and employees. FFCRA will take effect on April 1, 2020. There are three guidance documents: guidance for employers, guidance for employees and a set of FAQs. WHD will be issuing further guidance and regulations related to the exemptions for employers with fewer than 50 employees, as well as health care providers. We will provide that guidance to you as soon as it's available. [https://files.constantcontact.noclick_com/62f3e08e601/91b9f304-c6d7-4b9d-bbb5-1bb99d2cef55.jpg] Oklahoma COVID-19 Resources Gov.

As we move forward, I am guessing there will not be a lot to report regarding dollars, but I do want to point out that you may have more volunteer hours than you think. Everyone who is a volunteer that is listening to webinars or working on projects for your program at home are volunteer hours. And remember, all those volunteers and members that say they just don't have time working on a business inventory or creating a volunteer list, remind them that they probably do have time now!! If you have any questions about the reinvestment report, feel free to get in contact with me. Now back to my standard e-mail: Remember, submitting your reinvestment reports on time gets you 5 quality assurance points and missing three in a row gets you suspension from services until a reinvestment report is submitted.
