“While we all do our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19, our businesses will continue to feel the economic impact of this global pandemic well after it ends. Working with our small business resources partners to connect businesses with the tools and funding they need is now more critical than ever to help our businesses weather the storm. We are stronger when we work together,” said Mary Ellen Wiederwohl, chief of Louisville Forward.
This sentiment was echoed by Jennifer Rubenstein, executive director of the Louisville Independent Business Alliance.

“The College of Business is pleased to be working with Greater Louisville Inc. to provide relevant, state-of-the-art information and advice during this challenging time. We are committed to serving the business community and this is a great way to connect and support. Our talented faculty is more than willing to share their expertise and their perspectives – they’re eager to engage in helping the community get through this,” said Dean of the College of Business, Dr. Todd Mooradian.
