Hi Everyone,

I hope you’re staying safe and healthy as always. We didn’t publish a web round up last week due to the holiday, so there’s a lot here. I especially want to call out two private sector-related articles that might be of interest:

• Private Sector Council member Renee Chatelain of the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge facilitated a conversation with Baton Rouge Area Chamber President, Adam Knapp, on why chambers should turn to the arts for recovery and economic development. You can read that article here.

• A feature on muralist Matthew Cooper who was commissioned to paint Black Lives Matter murals by the Arts Council of Indianapolis and with the support of Jiffy Lube of Indiana.

• You may also be interested in our Chamber of Commerce-related session entitled, “Partnering with Your Chamber of Commerce on the Road to Recovery.” This session is currently available to anyone who registered for Convention, or who has purchased On-Demand access.
