County Farm Bureau presidents in odd-numbered districts are urged to start planning yesterday for their district presidents’ caucus, a bylaw necessity for developing a slate of candidates to represent the district on the Michigan Farm Bureau Board of Directors.
The state organization’s bylaws require county Farm Bureau presidents in districts electing a director to meet by Nov. 15 to develop a slate of candidates for the position.
Odd-numbered districts elect directors in odd-numbered years; even districts in even-numbered years. Accordingly, this year director terms expire in districts 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.
Eligible candidates must meet Michigan Farm Bureau qualifications for district director and should be willing to serve if nominated.
MFB Regional Managers are responsible for planning the district meetings (conference calls are acceptable) in their respective regions. They have guidelines available to help you carry out your responsibility.
If you have questions, contact your Regional Manager or MFB County Services Manager Michelle Maloney, 517-230-6266.
