The Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission (SaskCanola) is now accepting nominations to fill four positions on the Board of Directors starting in January 2017. SaskCanola is looking for Board members who have a desire to strengthen and grow the canola industry. The call for nominations opened July 4th and closes Friday, September 30th, at 12:00 PM CST.
The SaskCanola Board is comprised of a total of eight directors. Board members are elected for a four-year term and are eligible to be re-elected for a second four year term. Nominees for the Board must be registered canola producers; a registered producer is any producer who has sold canola and paid levy in either of the previous two crop years.
Janice Tranberg, Executive Director of SaskCanola, commented, “Nominations are held every second year to actively seek out enthusiastic, dedicated, progressive individuals whose common goals and principles align with SaskCanola and the organization’s mandate.”
Terry Youzwa, Board Chairman of SaskCanola, stated, “A Director who commits their time and expertise to SaskCanola also gains invaluable experience by working together with other Directors, Stakeholders, Partners, and Staff for the purpose of advancing the interests of Saskatchewan farmers.”
