In reality there is very little organization, or structure to PACSAC. However, as much as we’ve resisted it over the years, PACSAC has become a recognized organization of CSA farmers and there is a “President” and “Treasurer” who are “elected” at meetings, usually annually. PACSAC is completely run by volunteers and the following farmers are recognized below as holding some sort of “official position” in the organization:
President and Treasurer – Shari Sirkin, Dancing Roots Farm
Listserv and Web Site Administrator – Josh Volk, Slow Hand Farm
Dues, when collected, typically go to promotion of, and consumer education about, CSA in Portland in the form of web and print materials. In the past we have occasionally used dues to pay speakers to address the group.
