members are elected every two year as a Director for a term of four years.

 

An eligible member is a member who has paid an MCGA canola check-off deduction since

September 30, 2005 and has not requested a refund in last two years unless after the request for a refund, the member has paid the check-off and maintained the membership for one full year prior to September 30, 2007.
