The question continues to get asked - "What are the current needs in Western North Carolina?"

We have dedicated this week's episode of Mind Your Business to answering that question, with discussion straight from the community leaders that are working in the ever-evolving trenches of Hurricane Helene recovery.

This week's panel of guests include:
Casey Gilbert, Vice President of Public Policy, Asheville Chamber of Commerce
Kim Effler, President/CEO, McDowell Chamber of Commerce
Robin Morgan, Executive Director, Avery County Chamber of Commerce
Kitty Honeycutt, Executive Director, Ashe County Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center.
Panel moderated by David Jackson, President/CEO, Boone Area Chamber of Commerce

Our panel will discuss current conditions in each community, silver linings that have developed since the storm, and how can people provide impactful help at this time.

Each community is working on local fundrasing initiatives for individual and business support:

Asheville Chamber of Commerce: - Mountain Strong Fund for Small Business Recovery
McDowell County Chamber of Commerce - Hurricane Helene Business Relief
Avery County Chamber of Commerce - Avery County Business Recovery Fund
Ashe County Chamber of Commerce - Ashe County Advantage Project
Boone Area Chamber of Commerce - Hurricane Helene Business Resiliency Disaster Grants
