Alberta Lamb Producers is the voice of producers in discussions with industry stakeholders and government. ALP needs a strong Board of Directors to ensure the interests of producers are represented, viable marketing opportunities are developed, and that check-off dollars are spent wisely.
Four positions are open on the 2018/19 ALP Board
Changes to ALP's regulations, voted on during the 2016 Fall Meetings, resulted in a move from Zone Director to Director-at-Large positions. A Director-at-Large can be any elected producer regardless of their location within the province.
To stand for election, you MUST submit a completed nomination form to the ALP office by August 31. Nominations cannot be accepted after this time. Download the nomination form now.
The deadline to submit nomination forms is early to allow for mail-in voting! Advance voting will allow all producers to be active and involved with their organization, even if they are unable to attend the AGM. Mail-in voting packages for producers eligible to vote will be included with the Fall N’ewesletter. In-person voting will occur at the AGM on November 3rd.
