Transition Has Been Smooth For Manitoba Crop Alliance

It's been about a month since the official launch of the Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA).
 
Pam de Rocquigny is Chief Executive Officer.
 
"We've transitioned very smoothly from the five founding organizations of the Manitoba Crop Alliance to the new organization and I think that just speaks to already the level of collaboration and how much the groups where already working together prior to the amalgamation," she commented. "Things have gone really smoothly, we have lots of information that's out there for our members in case they're wanting to know more about what we're up to."
 
The MCA is now seeking nominations to fill delegate positions on each of its four Crop Committees.
 
The nomination period opens on September 1 and closes October 30th.
