Stone Industry Webinars on Covid-19 Continue Through May
OBERLIN, Ohio – The Natural Stone Institute will continue a four-week-long series of webinars on the impacts of Covid-19 with a session for fabricators and installers on Thursday.
Fabricator and Installer Roundtable- Covid-19 will be at 1 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time with a panel of speakers to address business issues arising from issues surrounding the coronavirus and the business slowdown.
Other webinars throughout the month will address concerns of stone distributors, restoration/maintenance businesses, industry suppliers and quarries/producers.

The panelists responded to questions from moderator Jim Hieb, institute CEO, as well as inquiries submitted by the online audience via a text-based chat room. The chat service also served as an informal networking platform for participants to share information and informative URLs.
