Leadership NEXT, a monthly program for advancing business professionals, will host a virtual program from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14 to discuss business recovery in Southwest Florida.

An economic impact survey conducted by Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) found that 91% of respondents experienced decreased demand due to the coronavirus. FGCU’s Lutgert College of Business and Marieb College of Health & Human Services recently launched “Restart SWFL” to help the local business community along the path to recovery. During the Leadership NEXT program, Christopher Westley, dean of FGCU’s Lutgert College of Business, will provide an overview of Restart SWFL, the resources that are available to local businesses and how to earn the Restart SWFL Seal of Confidence.

The Leadership NEXT program is free for members of the Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce and $5 for future members. Attendees can register in advance at FortMyers.org to receive webinar login credentials.
