(This webinar will be offered at no cost to everyone.)

Disaster Recovery from an Economic Developer’s Perspective

The wildfires in the Los Angeles area have, once again, brought to the forefront the devastating effects disasters have on peoples’ lives, communities, and businesses. Economic developers play an important role in economic recovery and its related aspects, but the work can feel overwhelming. Join us for this special extended Webinar Wednesday where we will discuss various aspects of disaster recovery from an economic developer’s perspective. Our panelists represent communities that were greatly impacted by disaster, particularly wildfires, and will share their insights from their experiences working on recovery and resiliency efforts.

Note: As an additional resource for this topic, please view the Economic Development Recovery and Resiliency Playbook.

Panelists:

  • Jesse Torres, Managing Partner, ArroyoWest
  • Colette Curtis, Recovery and Economic Development Director, Town of Paradise
  • Ethan Brown, Executive Director, Sonoma County Economic Development Collaborative
  • Malinda Matson, (Retired) Economic Development Representative, Economic Development Administration—Moderator.

CALED’s Webinar Wednesday is free for our members. For non-members the cost is $85.00 per webinar.

Attendees will need a Zoom account matching their registration email to view the webinar.

Please note, we now use the Zoom platform for our webinars. Please check with your IT department prior to the webinar to ensure you can access Zoom Webinar.

As we have integrated the Zoom platform with our membership software, you will need to register for the webinar with the same email that you will be using to log in to the webinar. Your email should also match the address you use for your CALED membership. CALED members can register at zero cost and the non-member fee is $85. CALED membership is for the individual, so you will have to pay if you are not a member, even if your organization is a member. The $85 attendance fee can apply towards membership. Please contact the CALED membership coordinator, Laura Cole Rowe at laura@yueziqi.com, for details.

You will receive this link immediately via email upon completion of your registration.  The link that you receive is not sharable, so please have other CALED members from your organization who want to attend this webinar complete separate registrations.

It’s easiest to log in to your CALED account (bookmark the link for future use!) so that the software can prefill all of your information for the webinar.  You can edit the information when you register (for example, if you will be using your personal email for the webinar instead of your work email). You may also want to add the Zoom automatic email address (no-reply@zoom.us) to your contacts, to make sure it doesn’t go to spam, as well as updating to the latest version of Zoom.

If you need your log-in and/or password, please send a quick email to Ian Gill, Program & Database Manager at iangill@yueziqi.com.

Please register no later than noon on the day of the webinar.
