Sask Pulse Board Elections Coming Up

The Saskatchewan Pulse Growers is looking for some new members for their board of governors, and nominations are now open.
 
"We typically have a seven-member board of directors and we are increasing that board size to nine, so we have three spaces available starting in January of 2021," explained Carl Potts, the executive director of Sask Pulse. 
 
The rules for who is eligible to serve on the board are fairly straightforward, according to Potts.
 
"Any producer that has sold pulses or soybeans in the last three years and has paid levy is eligible to run so we encourage any producers that are interested in providing leadership for this sector to put their name forward," added Potts. 
 
Those who are interested in serving on the board can find the nomination package on the Sask Pulse website. The deadline to submit an application is September 14th.
