The board seats are subject to an election each year, either to re-elect the incumbent or choose a new director. The director positions from Districts 2, 8, and 9 are those seats that will stand for election during the 2019 cycle. Incumbents from Districts 2 and 9 are both seeking re- election. The District 8 director is retiring. Those considering running for a director position should understand there is a significant time commitment for the three-year position. Day-long board meetings occur typically five times each year. Directors also participate in various committees of the board, which typically occur the day before a board meeting. Also, attendance at Grower Liaison Committee (twice a year) and Advisory Committee (once a year) meetings is common practice. Additionally, the board and management have an annual three-day strategic planning session. Invitations to represent Blue Diamond at political fundraisers and other events and meetings also commonly occur, as well as opportunities to attend industry-related conferences. Preparation time for board and committee meetings and the travel time to meetings and events need to be considered. 471 Industrial Ave. • Ripon, CA 95366 • 209.599.6118 • www.jackrabbit.bz Protect your investment from rodent damage with the safe, efficient and effective CO-Jack carbon monoxide delivery system Highly visible white smoke enables you to detect and plug connected openings Protect Your Investment The Cold Air Drain selectively extracts cold air in low-lying, frost prone accumulation areas and expels it up to 300 feet above the inversion layer.
