COVID-19 Tele-Town Hall: Access to PPE with MEDC's Natalie Chmiko

With efforts to reengage Michigan’s economy underway, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) has developed a portal specifically designed to support the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) needs of Michigan businesses as they start the process of reopening. Hear from Natalie Chmiko, the vice president, Pure Michigan Business Connect (PMBC) & International Trade for MEDC on the free PMBC COVID-19 Procurement Platform. The PMBC team will work to connect those businesses in need of access to PPE with Michigan businesses that have supplier capacity to meet that demand. A critical tool in economic recovery efforts, the platform builds on successful efforts to support the production of more than 5.5 million individual PPE supplies in Michigan as well as connect health and human service needs in the fight against COVID-19 with Michigan businesses providing critical supplies.

Chmiko will engage in a one-on-one discussion with Brad Williams, the vice president of government relations for the Detroit Regional Chamber. Participants can submit questions during the discussion.
