“Business Leaders for Michigan recognizes that we are experiencing a public health emergency that is unprecedented in our lifetime. The first priority in a situation like this has to be to protect the public’s health and safety.”

“The action the Governor took today will impact all of us but was necessary to ensure that all Michiganders have the best opportunity to remain healthy through this crisis. We understand that the economic impacts of this period will be painful for Michigan’s residents and businesses, and we stand ready to help the Governor and our state manage both the mitigation process and the recovery that will follow.”

“To that end, Business Leaders for Michigan has established a website that provides business a compendium of best practices they can use to mitigate the impact of the crisis on their business and employees at www.blmcovid19.com. We encourage all businesses in Michigan to take advantage of this resource which we will be continually updating.”

“Michiganders have helped America win two world wars and recover from some of the greatest economic shocks to our nation. We will do the same during this crisis as we have every other. We will lead by example and stand together to serve our great state.”
