cbsi Talking Business: Memorial Day Edition

Dear cbsi friends:

Hard to imagine we have been working from home for two months now, Memorial Day coming up.

We continue to applaud the work done by health care workers over the past two months, in our White Plains neighborhood one night a week we gather on our lawns and clap to show support.

In this month's #cbsiTalkingBusiness emagazine we hear from Jack Hojnar on renewed focus on "Contactless Payments", John Tolomer of the Westchester Bank on how community banks are helping small business and saving jobs, Alexandra Bowden on adjusting to work at home, Eric Rosenberg on financial management keys, Don Shin on remote presentations via Virtual Reality, Shashank Nigam on upcoming changes in air travel, and David Shipper highlights new report on best credit card benefit practices.

We are proud to add a special talk from my WVOX interview series with Army veteran Dr. Phil Roe, Ranking Member on the House Veterans Affairs Committee on health care staff helping veterans thru Covid-19, truly Heroes helping Heroes.

Thank you for your service to the veterans in our audience and in your families as we commemorate Memorial Day
