SSL Certificate Audits and Installations
Chamber Nation just went through the GDPR compliant check and process last month, and now are moving on to insuring that customers meet all SSL Certificate requirements. As part of this GDPR process audit, we also added updated website privacy policies to hundreds of sites. You can view and update them anyway you like, but we think most will be very satisfied with what is there now. To view this new policy simply look in the footer area of your main website to find a link called "Website Privacy Policy". This link is to ours at Chamber Nation.
Too many low- to moderate-income, working parents are going without the child care help for which they qualify. Many might not know of its availability. Others might be aware of it, but wary after two years of turmoil related to the state’s budget impasse and sharp cuts in eligibility – cuts that ReadyNation and a bipartisan group of legislators and allies helped to reverse last August. So, to help increase working parents’ awareness of the child care program, we’ve developed a one-page flyer you can find at this link. It briefly describes the services available, and notes where parents can call or check online to see if they are eligible to participate.
If you are an employer or manager, please consider:
Posting this flyer in break rooms
Including it with “onboarding” materials for new hires
Sharing it with human resources execs
Publicizing it in employee newsletters
