Leading in a time of crisis
T
he human and economic suffering
brought on by the coronavirus pan-
demic has been startling.
Connecticut alone has seen more
than 38,400 confirmed COVID-19 cases and
nearly 3,500 deaths associated with the disease.
But as the state begins to get the virus under
better control, at least for now, it's time to grad-
ually reopen the economy and get people back to
work, albeit in a safe and cautious manner.
Employers are ready to restart the engine
of commerce and lead the way for adapting
to the new normal, implementing extensive
safety measures to keep their workers and
customers safe.
In recognition of the important role em-
ployers will play in Connecticut's economic
recovery, the Hartford Business Journal and
New Haven Biz invited CEOs from around the
region to pen letters highlighting their support
for the business community and the state as we
work together to solve this highly critical situa-
tion and return Greater Hartford to maximum
health and prosperity in the near future.
We've compiled those letters in this special
digital publication called, "Leadership in a
Time of Crisis."
These employers are committed to rebuild-
ing Connecticuts' economy by working to get
people back to work in the safest and most
effective way possible, which will pave the way
for an economic recovery in the Nutmeg State.
