ATLANTA, Ga., March 25 – AAHOA President & CEO Cecil P. Staton issued the following statement after congressional leaders came to an agreement on the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, & Economic Security (CARES) Act, a stimulus package designed to assist industries and workers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic downturn:
“This relief package will help small businesses and their employees as they deal with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
