Our Founders

PACA was founded by a very committed group of volunteers. From 2011-2014, they developed PACA’s vision, mission, and organizational capacity based on the needs and desires expressed by our region’s co-ops and cooperators.

Our founders include Anne Misak, Daniel Flaumenhaft, Peter Frank, Caitlin Quigley, Shoshanna Grunwald, Mo Manklang, Margaret Lenzi, Bob Noble, Chris Hill, Esteban Kelly, and Jamila Medley.

We received significant support from Richard Dilworth, Bob Fishman, and Abby Lang.
