GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP – The Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming Hospitality and Tourism at Stockton University, in collaboration with the Greater AC Chamber of Commerce and the Stockton Small Business Development Center is producing a free, three-part webinar series titled “Clean Safe and Healthy” to help local businesses learn about the best practices for reopening.

The Zoom series begins with a panel discussion 9 a.m. Wednesday, June 3. Panelists include Anthony Catanoso, president of Steel Pier; Frank Dougherty, principal of Knife & Fork Inn; Mike Tidwell, director of sales and marketing at Seaview a Dolce Hotel; and Carrie Warren, chief marketing officer of Tanger Outlet.

Registration is free and open to the public on the LIGHT website at https://stockton.edu/light/.

Institute coordinator Jane Bokunewicz said the workshops come at an ideal time as Gov. Phil Murphy on Monday announced plans for the reopening of nonessential businesses, including outdoor dining and personal care services like salons and barbers.

“Gov. Murphy’s announcement today gives hope to the hospitality industry in New Jersey that a successful summer may be possible,” Bokunewicz said. “Opening in a safe and responsible manner will be crucial to building public confidence. Industry leaders have been working hard on plans for reopening safely as soon as restrictions are lifted.”
