ACS Directors are representatives from our member organizations. They are elected to three year terms, and may serve up to two terms consecutively before taking at least one year off before running again.

 

Vacant positions on the Board of Directors are filled annually by a secret ballot election (voted on by ACS member representatives) at the June Annual General Meeting (AGM). In addition to seven regular positions, ACS bylaws stipulate that one position be reserved for a youth member (ages 18-39).

 

The Board Executive consists of the Chair, Vice-Chair and Secretary/Treasurer. These positions are elected by the Directors following the AGM. There are five regular meetings of the Board of Directors per year where funding decisions over $10,000 are made, while the Executive meets monthly, making funding decisions on requests $10,000 and under.

 

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture representatives sit in on Board meetings in an advisory capacity.
