Menomonee Valley Business Association Virtual Luncheon

While we will miss seeing you in person, we don't want to miss the chance for Valley businesses to connect with each other. Please join us at our first virtual MVBA luncheon!

Many Valley businesses are interested in understanding how their neighbors are adjusting to the Covid-19 crisis. This MVBA is your opportunity to hear best practices and possibly share a couple of your own along with the opportunity to get some questions answered by your peers and industry leaders.  Dr. Kowalik, the Commissioner of the Milwaukee Health Department will join us to update Valley businesses on precautions the Health Department is doing to ensure the safety of all.  

To participate, you must create a Zoom account and register to obtain your unique conference code. You will also choose your breakout session during registration. Once you register, you will receive an email to add the event and your unique code to your calendar. We recommend you join the meeting 5-10 minutes in advance so you have time to resolve any technical difficulties.
