Alberta Beef Producers Seeking Producer Delegates

Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is currently accepting nominations for delegates to run in its 2018 fall elections.

Producers in each of the nine geographic zones in the province can elect up to five delegates and one cattle feeder delegate to serve two-year terms. In order to ensure continuity and experience in its delegate body, elections are staggered. This year, two producer delegate positions are open for election in each zone, and one cattle feeder position open in zones 2, 4, 6 and 8 - with a few additional vacancies.

ABP delegates are producer representatives that connect ABP to local producers and bring forward their ideas and issues. Delegates are also responsible for communicating ABP’s priorities and activities back to producers.

Download the ABP delegate nomination form or call the ABP office at 403-275-4400. Deadline for nominations is August 31, 2018.
