- Joe Galanti, BDO Global

Most businesses would like a 2020 do-over...
COVID-19 brought an abrupt halt to economic activity.  And now it's hurricane season...

* First... Government orders to shelter-in-place and close non-essential businesses ravaged companies large and small.  
* And then... Numerous companies that weathered COVID and had just begun reopening then found themselves facing challenges related to the social unrest our country is experiencing as a result of longstanding racial injustices.  
* Now... a third threat looms: a hurricane season that is expected to see a number of severe storms.

Join us for an in-depth panel discussion into overlapping losses related to COVID-19, Social Unrest, and Hurricanes, and tips for successful claims resolution during this triple threat risk situation.
