ROWAPALOOZA #1: "Building Community, One Pandemic at a Time"

THIS EPISODE brings together Ruth Marr, Rowing the World; Matthew Lacey, executive director of the Rowing Industry Trade Assn.; and Ami Mehr, race director at the Head of the Charles Regatta. The trio discussed how rowers, organizations like Head of the Charles, and the companies that serve the sport are emerging/dealing with the pandemic. Is it over? What do we do if it's not? How about the supply chain and rower safety? Terrific guess, lively discussion.
