Logistics with Purpose Classic

Team Rubicon has been in operation for 13 years, during which time they have worked in 1,100 different disasters or crises across the country and around the world. The premise of the organization is that military veterans have great experience that can be applied in a disaster relief context and that the military culture and ethos – a bias for action – is attractive to a much broader base than the veteran community. In this classic episode of Logistics with Purpose, Kristi Porter and Maureen Woolshlager are joined by David Burke, Chief Programs Officer at Team Rubicon and a Marine Corps veteran. In his current role, he spearheads Team Rubicon’s efforts to scale up the delivery of disaster services and life-saving humanitarian aid through safe, effective, and meaningful staff and volunteer implementation. Listen in as he talks about how he found his way from a career in the military to a leadership role at Team Rubicon.     This episode is hosted by Kristi Porter and Maureen Woolshlager.   Additional Links & Resources Check out all the great resources and information mentioned during the show: Watch this episode NOW on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7Ov6WAHZOUw Check out the episode transcript here: https://bit.ly/3LMOdlV Learn…
