Member-Owner of the Month:

Shawn Mack

For National Co-op Month this year, we're delighted to shine the spotlight on Shawn Mack (MO#1011), who practices cooperative principles year-round as the Operations Manager at Honest Weight Food Co-Op in Albany, NY.

Although Shawn works in Albany and lives in a rural area of Upstate NY where he has been renovating a home he purchased with his family, he has deep roots in Schenectady and has continued to be engaged in community life.  A man of many talents and interests, Shawn has developed a holistic approach to pursuing his passion for health and wellness. 

Let's hear a bit more about Shawn in his own words, and how he found his way into the world of cooperative economics, both as Operations Manager at Honest Weight and as a Member-Owner in the Electric City Community Grocery.
