The Ontario Farm
Products Marketing Commission is seeking applications for four
directors to represent producers on the Ontario Processing Vegetable
Growers Marketing Board.
The commission will
choose directors from the applications, two for district one and one
each for districts two and three.
They will serve a
one-year term and then their positions will be open to election.
It’s all part of a
restructuring after the commission dismissed the previous board and
took over contract negotiations with processing companies for this
year’s crop.
Under the new
governance structure, the commission will continue to appoint the
chairman and producers will elect four directors each year for
two-year terms.
The board will consist of eight producer-elected
directors and the government-chosen chairman.
