SMPS NEO COVID-19/Coronavirus Survey

Dear SMPS members and friends,

COVID-19 has transformed the way we live, work, and play. Working from home has us craving connection, socialization, and the sharing of ideas that typically happens organically in the workplace or in person. The SMPS Northeast Ohio Board and Committee Chairs have used the last couple weeks to brainstorm ways to connect our members over the socially-distant miles. We are excited to roll out our first event, a Virtual Happiest Hour on April 16 at 4:00 pm!

The Happiest Hour will serve as a time for conversation and sharing ideas to solve the challenges that marketers, business developers, and our firms are all facing as the fabric of the A/E/C community shifts and evolves. We will also toast each other as we settle into this new normal. In order to inform our conversation, we ask that each participant complete the following survey on some of unique issues that COVID-19 has had on our work and industry. Please complete the survey by 5:00 pm on Monday, April 13.

We look forward to seeing you at the Happiest Hour event on April 16. If you have not registered yet please do at this link.
