SCDC Elections

WATCH FOR FALL ELECTIONS in 2008: The Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission calls for nominations to its Board of Directors every fall.

Leaders Wanted
Become a Director of the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission. Directors of the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission (SCDC) are at the leading edge of the canola industry. Directors oversee the distribution of research funds, promote Canadian canola, and represent their fellow canola growers in industry matters.

Directors serve a three-year term and are eligible for re-election for a further two terms. Two Director positions are available this year.

SCDC Directors attend approximately six board meetings a year and contribute time to the activities of a Board committee. Directors are called upon to represent SCDC at meetings and major conferences. The total time commitment is approximately 40 days per year.

Registered canola growers interested in building the canola industry, please contact the SCDC office toll free at 1-877-241-7044 for nomination forms, and return them to the Returning Officer no later than 12:00 p.m. October 19, 2007.

Note: Only registered growers may vote, nominate or hold office.

A registered grower means any grower who has had a Saskatchewan canola check-off deducted since August 1, 2005. All growers selling Saskatchewan-grown canola to registered buyers are automatically registered with the SCDC.

An election (if required) will be by mail ballot with election results announced at the Annual General Meeting in Saskatoon, SK, January 9, 2008.
