MBR: Covid-19

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts, the Roundtable has collaborated with leaders from industry, government, non-profits, labor, education, business groups and local officials to provide MBR members with helpful resources in response to the pandemic. As we continue to disseminate information to better serve our communities and our fellow citizens, it is also encouraging to see member companies stepping up in a variety of ways to help their employees and communities.

If you have a suggestion or a resource you would like us to include, please email it to Lauren Jones.
