&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:28px;"&gt;Is your business or non-profit organization feeling the impact of the response to COVID-19? Are you considering applying for an SBA disaster relief loan? Or the Payroll Protection Plan?&amp;nbsp; Join&amp;nbsp;Forward Forsyth&amp;#39;s Existing Industry Project Manager to learn if the loan program is right for you. Alex will also walk participants through the steps of applying.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 28px;"&gt;Is my business or non-profit organization eligible?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 28px;"&gt;What are the terms of the loan?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 28px;"&gt;What steps do I take to apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 28px;"&gt;Is there anyone to provide support and guidance in the process?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 28px;"&gt;What information do I need to have ready before I apply?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 28px;"&gt;When can I expect to receive a response?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
