The board members’ terms will officially begin after the organization’s AGM on Jan 24, 2024.

Harpe and Chevraux are entering their third terms as directors. Nanninga is beginning his second term and Frost is in his first term.

Directors may serve up to three consecutive terms on Alberta Canola’s board.

Another Alberta ag organization is in the process of electing its first board of directors.
