Hi Everyone,

Happy Friday to you all. I’m pleased to share this week’s Weekly Web Roundup that has great information, including a Business Spotlight to share.

In the world of private sector organizations, I also want to share this letter that was delivered to Congress this week, signed by 140 local Chambers of Commerce. If your chamber is listed, please take a moment to reach out and thank them. This letter was initiated by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, and shared widely through the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) in order to gather signers.

If you have a relationship with one of the chambers listed in this letter, and have any stories or partnership examples, please share them here so we can learn from those who are working closely with their chamber.

Here’s the latest Weekly Web Roundup from Americans for the Arts. Click here to read the Roundup for May 4-8, 2020, which includes links to the following content:

• News about Annual Convention and the Public Art & Civic Design Conference going virtual this June (registration details coming soon!)
• A Business Spotlight interview with Domhnaill Hernon, Head of Experiments in Arts and Technology at Nokia Bell Labs, a 2019 Arts + Business Partnership Awardee
• A blog telling the story of Wa Na Wari, a Black arts and community space in Seattle that exists in a privately-owned Black home; plus a virtual “Coffee Chat” with Elisheba Johnson, one of the co-creators of Wa Na Wari
