Yearly Review: 2021 came with at least one challenge that had a major impact on the world economy and how business was conducted to deal with ever changing constraints of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have implemented three changes that follow the guidelines set by the Center of Disease Control.

1.) Mask requirement: Our staff, volunteers, and vendors or independent contractors need to wear a mask while conducting Know Corporation business.
2.) Know Corporation has made great strids with its implementation of video Tel-conference for business meetings. 90% of business meetings use Zoom or another Tel-conference instrument.
3.) Social Media Platforms have increased the company’s visibility. Know Corporation uses videos, texts, and podcasts to inform the community about testing, vaccines, providers, and other community events.
