McDonald was the founder and first president of APTAC. The award, named in her honor, “Represents significant contribution and deep commitment, not just to the procurement profession, but to APTAC and its members,” APTAC said at the awards ceremony. When the COVID-19 pandemic impacted APTAC’s national training conferences, Bloch reinforced EMDC’s organization-wide approach by pivoting to face problems head-on while maintaining services and strengthening partnerships. Working with his colleagues, “Ken’s professionalism, coupled with his commitment to fair dealing and win-win solutions enabled an optimal outcome for APTAC and its members,” APTAC said in their release.

AUGUSTA — With projections showing more people died of drug overdoses in Maine in 2020 than ever before, leaders of a substance use task force told city councilors Thursday Augusta needs to become a recovery ready community.
Leaders of the recently-formed Ad-Hoc Substance Use Task Force Advisory Committee, who expect to finalize their goals next week, said opiate use has spiked in the city, state, country and the world, and the problem became worse as people struggled through the coronavirus pandemic and its restrictions which left many people isolated and vulnerable.

BANGOR, Maine — Even though we all know it, small business owners don't need to be reminded of how difficult a year this has been. When the coronavirus pandemic came to Maine, shutdowns soon followed and an uphill battle against COVID-19 has continued for shop owners ever since.
Restaurants were closed for in-person dining and were forced to cater to curbside pickup or take-out options in March. Some were able to open weeks later in May, others closed for good. Executive orders that reduced capacity limits added another dent to the industry while it desperately waiting for federal funding.
