Ribbon Cuttings & Mixers

Ribbon Cuttings and Mixers will be moved here to a special section because I want you to be more aware of them for 3 reasons:

• It's important to show support for your fellow investors and often these are new members to our business community and are customer prospects
• Ribbon Cuttings and Mixers are GOLDEN networking opportunities for YOU! You will often  meet CEOs, CFOs, local representatives and other decision makers or centers of influence you might otherwise not meet. 
• They are FREE! 

So don't let these opportunities pass you by!

Nevada to hold unemployment insurance tax rate steady

Recently, Nevada Chambers of Commerce banded together to attempt to defeat a measure in the Legislature to increase unemployment insurance tax rates. The measure designed to reload the negative balance for the unemployment fund, would have cost businesses a lot of money. 

After a couple of months of nail biting worry, we can breathe a sigh of relief and so can businesses. The measure was defeated and as of November 10, Governor Sisolak announced the unemployment tax rate would hold steady and businesses would NOT be responsible to fund the deficit. This is a huge win for business and a huge step toward recovery.

Applications open for funds to support Nevada child care 

On November 9, 2021, Governor Sisolak and the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services encourage child care providers to apply for funds to support their programs and reduce costs for families. 

As approved in a recent Interim Finance Committee, more than $222 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds are allocated to support child care in the Silver State. Governor Sisolak and the State of Nevada know investing in childcare is critical to all Nevada families and will continue to work on this as a priority.
