Board Leadership and Elections - Indiana Corn and Soy

Board Leadership and Elections

It’s nice to know that fellow farmers guide the Indiana Corn Growers Association (ICGA) Volunteer Board of Directors. The ICGA Board of Directors is made up of nine volunteer members from nine Indiana districts. (view district map) Farmer-elected directors serve three-year terms. The board also has ex-officio members. These farmers volunteer their time to advocate for policies and legislation that supports their fellow Indiana corn farmers.
