Chuck Heyn, Vice President

Chuck was born and raised in Wayne County, graduated from Damascus High School in 1964 and received an Associate Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Penn State University in 1966. He was drafted while working for Xerox in July ’66 and served 15 months in Vietnam as an Army Combat Medic. He returned home and spent 8 years reintegrating back into society. The education received during this transition was something that could not be taught. Coming from the depths of war he could no longer understood our way of life. There was something wrong! The over-consumption, the waste, the pollution, and what seemed like a false happiness. As we began to embrace alternative energy in the 70’s, recycling, and beginning to see the true costs of polluting our environment Chuck found something he wanted to put his energy into. So in 1976 he settled down back here, and married Andrea in 1980. In raising two daughters, he came to truly understand the importance of community. Chuck sat on the board of the Damascus Township Planning Commission for 15 years, for 10 as its Chair during the 80’s and 90’s. He is a member of Veterans For Peace, VFW Post 531, American Legion Post 765, and the Equinunk Historical Society. Being a founding member of SEEDS simply put all these things together.

Chuck is serving through 2025.

Jamie Stunkard, Secretary

Jamie is the owner and chef at Nature's Grace Natural Foods and Cafe on Main Street in Honesdale. He says "Sustainability and how well we can implement this will be defining where we stand and how we survive in the future.  We have to support this on a global level but also on a local level. I suppose we could again become hunter / gatherers but I imagine most of us are unwilling to give up our modern comforts.  Consequently, clean energy in its various forms is an important part of this picture. Zero carbon footprint is a worthy goal which I have worked many years towards. Still hoping to reach there. The Clean Energy Coop is an important means toward that goal.  Hope I can help it along."

Jamie is serving through 2026.
