Northern Virginia Back to Work Leadership Task Force

Picture
In March of 2020 our Northern Virginia Region faced an unprecedented crisis: near total shutdown. From entertainment to office buildings, every business was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.  What followed has been business disruption and unemployment of historic proportions.
In response, our government and civic organization members banded together to provide resources that will accelerate Northern Virginia’s recovery from this crisis. Our goal is to help organizations of all sizes engage in business continuity, business recovery, worker training, and retraining.
