MACC’s mission is to promote, foster and strengthen the value of cooperatives
Who We Are
Mid America Cooperative Council is a multi-state, non-profit trade association founded in January 2003, by a group of like-minded individuals. These folks understood the impact cooperative principles have on the sustainability of co-ops, yet they began to see a widespread erosion of co-op knowledge among co-op communities. They also became alarmed at the lack of unique co-op educational resources available in the Midwestern region. Members co-aligned and co-created MACC…...which fills this essential advocacy gap. MAC-Ed is a subsidiary 501c3 that concentrates on the educational aspects of MACC.
What We Do
MACC is a strategic and centrally located Midwestern hub of co-op resources designed to provide solutions to co-ops. MAC-Ed assists co-op leaders in aligning members, staff and directors toward the co-op common purpose of fiduciary responsibility, even though personal goals and roles remain distinct.Why We Are
