Who We Are
The Mid America Cooperative Council, Inc. (MACC) is a multi-state, non-profit trade association founded in January 2003, by a group of like-minded individuals. These individuals 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. All sectors of cooperatives were engaged in establishing MACC. The founders also wanted to address the lack of unique co-op educational resources available in the Midwestern region. Members co-aligned and co-created MACC. MACC members are located in the Heart of Mid America – Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio.
