With the recent surge of coronavirus cases in a number of states in various stages of reopening causing confusion and uncertainty in the industry, the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) will host a free webinar, "The COVID Rollercoaster: Navigating Your Business Through the Ups and Downs of State COVID Responses," on Wednesday, July 15, at 3:30 p.m. EDT.

 

Presented by IAPMO, the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE), the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE), the Plumbing Contractors Association (PCA), Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC), Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI), and the United Association (UA), the webinar will examine the challenges presented by attempts to reopen buildings, businesses and other public areas during this ever-changing pandemic.

 

The Honorable Armando Walle, Texas state legislator and Harris County (Houston) COVID-19 recovery czar, and Matthew Helminiak, state of Maryland commissioner of Labor and Industry, will share their observations and recommendations during the webinar.

 

"As COVID continues to spread across the country, it is imperative that our industry follow best practices when reopening businesses and engaging with clients and the public," said Jim Scarborough, director of government relations for IAPMO. "We are very pleased to have these two engaging speakers, who will share with us what is happening in their communities and how they work to protect the public."
