My name is Anthony Lang and I am a Board Member of the Community Mercantile Co-op in Lawrence, Kansas. I was elected to the Board of Directors in 2018 and served as Board President from 2019-2020 during the Merc’s expansion into Kansas City, Kansas. Now in my 7th year on the board, I have served in other roles as Treasurer, Secretary, Elections and Owner Engagement Committees. When not serving on the Merc Board, I am a supply chain professional with over 15 years experience within the Aerospace industry. I currently manage a team of data scientist to identify, assess and mitigate supply chain risks within our supply base. I am a proud U.S. Army Veteran with over 9 years of active duty service. I have been a member of the Merc Co-op since 2003. I am an active member of my community volunteering my time coaching kids and serving on committees throughout Lawrence. I love playing volleyball, badminton, tennis and most recently pickleball. I also enjoy walking, hiking, and running half marathons. I’m super excited to be near Acadia National Park this year and plan to visit the park with my daughter after CCMA.
