NCGA Looking for Applicants for 2019 Action Teams
USAgNet - 08/15/2018

The National Corn Growers Association reminds members that it is seeking applications from members interested in working on an NCGA action team in the 2019 fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.

The deadline for state offices to coordinate applications and submit directly to NCGA is August 17.

Action team and committee service provides growers an opportunity to play an active role in shaping the future of their industry and to become a part of the national agricultural leadership community.

"NCGA's action teams and committees offer unique, specific opportunities to participate in all of the areas the organization touches. As a grassroots organization, we rely on members to take an active role in shaping the course of our activities, programs and policies to unify and lead our industry forward," said NCGA First Vice President Lynn Chrisp. "I encourage all interested members to take their involvement to the next level while exploring in great depth the areas which interest them the most."

The teams, which will be entering their third fiscal year in this format include: Corn Productivity and Quality; Consumer Engagement; Ethanol; Feed, Food and Industrial; Freedom to Operate; Market Access; Risk Management and Stewardship. Positions are also available on Organizational Teams and Standing Committees, which include CornPAC and the Engaging Members Committee.

Qualified applicants must be an NCGA member or prospective member and/or contribute to their state checkoff program, if applicable. Ideal candidates should have interest or expertise in a particular area relevant to the team focus.

Action Teams represent a cross-section of corn production. The teams may utilize staff, growers and industry members to serve as resources, as determined by the action team chair.
