ecomaine CEO Kevin Roche joins the MEMIC Safety Experts Podcast on distancing protocols during COVID-19 pandemic

April 27, 2020

Social Distancing w/ Kevin Roche 

Many of us haven’t heard of the term until the current novel coronavirus pandemic. However, this isn’t a new tool at all.  Studies back in the early 2000’s and late 1900’s discuss physical distancing as one of the main community mitigation measures recommended during influenza pandemics. On this Episode of the MEMIC Safety Experts Podcast, Pete talks with Kevin Roche, CEO of EcoMaine a non-profit waste management organization serving a third of Maine’s population. Together, they explore the decision EcoMaine made to begin physical distancing early on in the novel coronavirus pandemic, what impacts it has had on their team and business plan, and leadership that made a difference.
