Pelissero dynasty



Scott Graham has been elected chairman of  the Egg Farmers of Ontario marketing board.

He moved up from vice-chairman in recent elections, taking over from Carolynn Griffiths who did not seek re-election as a zone director this year.

Roger Pelissero, brother of the board’s chief executive officer Harry Pelissero, is the new vice-chairman and also the Ontario representative on the national agency, Egg Farmers of Canada.

I wonder how often Roger will, or should, declare a conflict of interest during egg board meetings.

I guess the election shows how the new board will treat an offer from the lawyer for Svante Lind to drop the lawsuit against the egg board if the board gets rid of Harry because he's at the nub of the lawsuit allegations of a conspiracy among Joe Hudson of Burnbrae, Bill Gray of L.H. Gray and Sons Ltd. and the egg board.

The complete board of directors is:
·      Scott Helps, Zone 1
·      Dianne McComb, Zone 2
·      Dan Veldman, Zone 3
·      Roger Pelissero, Zone 4
·      Brian Miller, Zone 5
·      Scott Graham, Zone 6
·      Bryan Hostrawser, Zone 7
·      Vance Drain, Zone 8
·      Craig Hunter, Zone 9
·      Marcel Leroux, Zone 10
·      Andrew DeWeerd, pullet director
