Huron County Farm Bureau Board of Trustees is currently seeking members for two open board seats to the Board of Trustees. They are specifically looking to fill seats in the Southwest district (which is townships of Norwich, Greenfield, Richmond and New Haven) and the Southeast district (which is composed of Fairfield, Fitchville, New London, Ripley and Greenwich townships).
Qualifications:
Any paid member of Huron County Farm Bureau who is directly impacted by the health of the agricultural industry is qualified to be a board trustee. If running for a district seat, member must reside in or hold an agricultural business in that district.
The board currently hosts trustees of all ages, from early 20’s to post-retirement, and with about equal representation of men and women. It’s a very welcoming group of folks who work in ag services or who farm part time or full time themselves.
Benefits/Opportunities:
– Service as a trustee gives you the ability to serve as a voice for your township, district and county on agricultural and community-related issues
– Networking with other trustees across the county and members as well as public officials. Several opportunities throughout the year to network with other trustees within the district (Erie, Lorain and Cuyahoga counties)
– Leadership development opportunities – access to opportunities to grow in leadership development such as advocacy at the local, state, and national level.
– Service as a trustee gives you the opportunity to better understand the Farm Bureau Federation and its member benefits
– Service as a trustee is a great resume builder!
Basic expectations:
– Individual needs to be a member of Huron County Farm Bureau
– Eight board meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. at North Fairfield Village Hall (no board meeting the month of May, October and December. Note – September is the annual meeting). Meetings typically last 1-1.5 hours.
– Board members are not expected to attend every meeting but are expected to attend the majority
– In addition to providing input at board meetings, board members are asked to participate in 1 ad hoc committee and 1 event committee. Time spent on committees vary by committee but, generally, take 2-4 hours.
– Trustee positions are 3 year terms with the option of running for a second term if interested.
Please respond (email or call the office or a board member) if you are interested by Feb. 15, 2023. Thank you for your consideration!
