Board Leadership and Elections - Indiana Corn and Soy

ISA is governed by a Board of 24 volunteer farmer-directors plus seven non-voting ex-officio Board members who meet throughout the year to develop ISA’s programs. Farmer Directors are elected by Indiana soybean farmers in June and take office to begin their term in November. These farmers from all over Indiana volunteer their time to improve opportunities for Indiana soybean farmers through checkoff investments and advocating for legislation and policies that support Indiana soybean farmers.
