Progressive Dane elected Brenda Konkel and John McNamara as co-chairs. Brenda returns as co-chair for another term and John is serving in the seat formerly held by Nick Berigan. Nick stepped down due to other commitments but continues to serve on the Steering Committee. We thank Nick for his service and leadership.
John is excited to serve as co-chair. He has a diverse background and currently serves as accounts manager for Union Cab. Click on the link below to read more about him.
John McNamara has been a Madison resident since 1982. He came here for college and never left. He fell in with the wrong crowd and rather than become a wealthy, Republican MD like most of my high school classmates, he joined the Memorial Union labor Organization, served as its president, and switched his major to English Literature.
After college he went to work for Union Cab of Madison Cooperative. A private sector business with 205 member/workers and existing in a regulated environment.
John has become a strong proponent of the cooperative economic model which should be the economic model for progressives. He has served Union Cab as its president for 4 years and on its board of directors for 8 years. He believes that organizations, especially our economic and political ones, should be democratic, accessible and transparent.
