COVID-19 Resources
A Message from the Board of Directors
We hope that all SECAF members and their families are staying healthy and safe as we all adapt to the many life and business changes caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. While our region and the country face the unprecedented affects from COVID-19, we want our members to know that SECAF is here for you. SECAF’s leadership is actively monitoring the national COVID-19 outbreak, and we know that many SECAF members have questions about how COVID-19 will affect their businesses. We created this COVID-19 resources page to help our members and the community stay abreast of the rapidly-changing developments that are most impactful for small business contractors. Although SECAF does not endorse any of the sources or guidance offered in these links, we hope our members and others will find it useful to have all of these small contractor-focused resources available in one place. We will continue updating these resources as more relevant materials become available. If there are other resource links that you think we should include, please feel free to contact info@secaf.org.
