The ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities and requires accessibility in places of public accommodation. Ultimately, if your business is open to the public and you have customers on your premises or using a mobile application/website to purchase products, your business may be considered a place of public accommodation that must comply with Title III of the ADA. Join us to discuss businesses' obligations under Title III, website and mobile application accessibility requirements under Title III, steps to mitigate exposure, and best practices for handling a customer's or employee's accommodation request given the pandemic.

SCORE extends mentoring program to Wharton’s entrepreneurs. Learn more on Friday, Oct. 30.

The Wharton Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture is teaming up with SCORE to offer one-on-one expertise to Wharton’s small businesses. For over 50 years, SCORE has served as America’s premier source of free business mentoring and education. SCORE has helped more than 11 million entrepreneurs through mentoring, workshops and educational resources since 1964 as a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration. At a virtual presentation, a SCORE professional will explain how Wharton’s small businesses can benefit.  One topic is likely to be the bottom-line impact of COVID 19. Other topics might include customer service, financial management, business plans, and marketing. The presentation will come from Mike Monberg, who has lead businesses in many different markets, ranging in size from $7 million to $1.2 billion. He is currently VP of outreach for SCORE, your liaison to business services.

The live introductory session will be at 1:30 pm Friday, Oct. 30. The chamber will list a link to the live event at whartonchamber.com facebook.com/whartonchamber or. It will be recorded so folks can watch later whenever they want to.
