2021-04-01 不能談 Cannot Train on SVOG

9:30am-10:30am Webinar "Doing Business with the Government" with Queens College

45 attendees

12pm-1pm Webinar "SBIR and STTR" with Manhattan Chamber of Commerce

46 attendees

7:30pm-9pm Webinar with Neighborhood Venue Alliance is cancelled 

because we are not allowed to help the SVOG application.

John sends the following message to us in the afternoon:

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT>>>>>>WE CANNOT DO SEMINARS OR TRAINGS OR PARTICIPATE ON PANELS OF ANY KIND!!!!

WE CANNOT HELP FILL OUT THE APPLICATION!!!!

 

The SVOG team has received quite a few questions from other district offices on training, wanting slides, etc.

The SVOG Team wanted to share the following to help clear things up. To note, I believe Julie/Victor will be sharing something similar as well:

 

Friendly SVOG reminder: the only source of information districts can provide is www.sba.gov/svogrant and info in the Shuttered Venue Operators Grants - FAQ (sba.gov) to ensure fair and equal treatment of all potential applicants and protect SBA team members and the agency. Districts also can’t “train” on the grants, as it would violate this same federal grant rule (if one district “trained” and another didn’t, those that didn’t get a training would be at a disadvantage). This is why only one national public training was conducted (so different information wasn’t shared at different times). The training is now posted on SBA’s YouTube (https://youtu.be/CNWsgR9ESUs) / the SBA SVOG website (www.sba.gov/svogrant) under video tutorials.

 

I send a message to the four organizations holding webinars on SVOG 

tonight and next week to cancel the scheduled events.

Neighborhood Venue Alliance agrees to cancel tonight's webinar.

Greater New York Chamber of Commerce decides to keep tomorrow's webinar.

Dramatists Guild of America agrees to cancel tomorrow's webinar.

Macerich wants to keep the webinar on 4/7.
