NEWS IN A NUTSHELL Annual Member Meeting – Save the Date To become a candidate, file a petition signed by five Blue Diamond members in your district by September 1. Incumbent members from each committee are responsible for ensuring that there is at least one candidate for each vacancy on the committee. Advisory Committee Appointment The Advisory Committee provides even closer communication between the board, the GLCs, and the membership. It is made up of two members appointed from and by each of the nine GLCs. Advisory Committee members meet periodically with management and members of the Board of Directors for in-depth discussions on issues that affect the membership. Make a Commitment to Communication Being a cooperative member involves an ownership responsibility that includes being well-informed and involved in the off-farm aspect of your business. It’s your co-op. Take part in its activities. Help keep it successful and growing! If you are interested in either a Director or Grower Liaison Committee position, please call your local Regional Manager or the Membership Department at (209) 545-6225.
