Join Change Labs and the Navajo Nation Division of Economic Development for an important dialogue between Navajo business owners, elected leaders, and government officials on how COVID-19 has impacted the business environment on the Navajo Nation.

This dialogue is focused on the Navajo food & hospitality sector. We'll start with an overview of the research conducted by Change Labs, Causal Design, and Navajo DED on the economic impact of COVID-19 on Navajo small businesses and then hear directly from Navajo business owners who've worked to keep their business open throughout the pandemic. There will be time for questions from the audience as well as time to hear your thoughts and ideas on how Navajo American Rescue Plan funding could be used to support the Navajo business community.
