SPECIAL NOTES
- It is important that we have maximum producer participation in the delegate election events. Let us know how we can help you if you are having trouble finding delegates.
- Delegate Diversity: The industry continues to do an excellent job encouraging greater participation by women and minorities in the delegate process. We would love to see the diversity of the delegate body continue to grow. To ensure the broad diversity of pork producers in the delegate process, we encourage you to forward your public notice to any persons or organizations that have regular contact with underrepresented groups of producers.
