Women 4 Women Event Opening Announcement


 

The Peoria Chamber continues to monitor and adhere to all Executive Orders enacted by Governor Ducey that are currently in place because of the Covid-19 virus. Gatherings of more than 50 are prohibited, however, smaller gatherings with precautions taken offer benefits our members are asking for.

We will proceed as a first progression to enable our Women 4 Women to meet in person AND virtually during their 9/18/2020 event. Attendees must wear face coverings, sign a waiver, be subject to a laser temperature measure at check-in, and sit in designated spacing and seating.  Our W4W Chair Della Brandenburger and Event Coordinator  Anna Bremerman will answer any questions you may have.

We will monitor this and subsequent Women 4 Women events and evaluate our options relative to opening other Peoria Chamber events. We will continue to offer a virtual option to any event we open as an in-person event.

As part of their ongoing efforts to provide business and community resources, APS is pleased to launch SizeUp Arizona designed to assist small-to-medium sized businesses and entrepreneurs around the state with access to data and information allowing them to innovate and expand.

With SizeUpAZ, Arizona businesses now have the ability to identify their unique competitive advantage through data analysis in four distinct areas:

  • Compare business performance to competitors
  • Identify potential customers, suppliers and competitors
  • Recognize the best geographic places to advertise
  • Gather demographic, spending and labor data for each unique business location

APS and the Arizona Commerce Authority are hosting a webinar introducing the tool and how to best navigate the data so each individual or business can customize for their own use.
