HAE NYC invites you to join Cathy Rossouw, Partner at the law firm of Chapman and Cutler, for an update on the Federal Reserve’s Main Street Loan Program – the successor program to the Paycheck Protection Program.

Cathy will outline how the Main Street program works from the perspective of both borrowers and lenders, the key considerations for borrowers looking to access the program, and a checklist of eligibility requirements for potential borrowers. This event is designed to help entrepreneurs and start-ups at all stages. We hope you can join us for this timely and insightful conversation.
