AGTEGRA DIRECTOR AND DELEGATE ELECTIONS

Agtegra Cooperative will hold elections for directors and delegates in December. If you would like to participate in governance of your cooperative, this is your opportunity to take the next step!
 
This year there are five director positions and 20 delegate positions up for election. One director will be elected from each territorial district, and one director will be elected at-large. Five delegates will be elected from each territorial district.
 
Agtegra Cooperative has territorial district lines for director and delegate elections as shown on the map. If you qualify to be a member, you will be assigned to a territorial district based on the address on your account with Agtegra Cooperative.
 
- District 1 includes all states except Minnesota
- District 2 includes Minnesota
 
Each member will be eligible to vote for one director and five delegates from their territorial district per year. Members will also be able to vote for one director at-large each year. 
 
If you patronize an Agtegra Cooperative location in a district other than the one you will be assigned, you may request to be reassigned to the district where you conduct business with Agtegra.
 
To make a request to change districts, please email val.weisser@agtegra.com with your name, contact information and the district you wish to be assigned to or mail a letter with the same information to: Attn: Val Weisser, Agtegra Cooperative, 908 Lamont Street South, Aberdeen, SD 57401. Your email or letter must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 18, 2019.
 
Director and delegate elections will be conducted via mail ballot, mailed to each member’s account of record prior to the annual meeting of the members, which is scheduled for Wednesday, December 18, 2019.
 
If you are interested in running to be a director or delegate, please contact Val Weisser at (605) 725-8341 or via email val.weisser@agtegra.com. The deadline for a member to be considered by a nominating committee is September 20, 2019.
 
A member may also self-nominate for a director or delegate position if they submit a petition to the Agtegra Cooperative office forty (40) days prior to the annual meeting of the members on December 18, 2019. If you wish to take out a petition, rather than be considered by a nominating committee, please contact Val Weisser.
 
If you have any other questions about the districts or upcoming election, please contact Agtegra Cooperative Corporate Attorney Mike Traxinger at (605) 725-8325 or via email at mike.traxinger@agtegra.com.
