The Seacoast Chamber Alliance is pleased to provide you with its weekly updates on programs and upcoming events that are part of our business recovery efforts to support Seacoast businesses. Be sure to watch for the Seacoast Chamber Alliance header, shown above, that will alert you to these important updates.
Seacoast Safe Pledge
Take the "Seacoast Safe Pledge"! Demonstrate your ongoing commitment to the health and safety of the community and let people know you are taking all the recommended steps to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Over 130 Seacoast-area businesses have taken the SEACOAST SAFE Pledge - thank you for being one of them! We wanted to give you an update and share some additional information.  

Share the news: Let the community know you’re SEACOAST SAFE by encouraging other businesses to join you in taking the Pledge, posting about your participation with downloadable graphics, and tagging the Chambers. A few examples from other Seacoast Safe businesses are attached.

For those that have taken the pledge, we would love to hear how it's going! Please take a few minutes to complete the SEACOAST SAFE ASSESSMENT. This information will help us support you and provides valuable data to share with other business leaders throughout the state, including the Governor’s Office on Economic Relief and Recovery and the NH Department of Business and Economic Affairs.

As part of our partnership with the BEA (NH Department of Business and Economic Affairs), this questionnaire has been put together to better gauge the needs of our member businesses through the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. There have been many resources made available over the past several months that we hope have provided some relief to your business. We look forward to gaining a better understanding of your current and future needs so that we may assist you with resources needed over the next several months.
