The Independent Business Association of Wisconsin (IBAW) hosts Kristine Hillmer, president & CEO, Wisconsin Restaurant Association, who will present “Situation: Critical – Can Wisconsin’s Restaurant Industry Survive Covid?” The meeting will be held on February 19, 2021, 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Event will be held at the Wisconsin Club, 900 W Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. A plated breakfast will be served.

Steve Kohlmann, Executive Director of IBAW, said, “There’s no doubt about it. Wisconsin’s restaurant sector has taken it on the chin during the Covid-10 situation, with mandated closures and capacity limits that not only impact the restaurant business itself but all its employees as well. Even if restaurants were to get full capacity back, would the public feel comfortable enough to patronize the business to the point it can survive?”

IBAW members will meet for an in-person meeting at the Wisconsin Club. Note that due to Covid-19 situation, advance registration is required. Seating will be limited at this event. Walk-ins cannot be accommodated.
