SMDC Election
Annual director election information will be posted here.
See the current list of directors here.
Directors
serve a three-year term and are eligible for re-election for a
further two terms.
The SMDC was constituted by the Saskatchewan
Agri-Food Act in October, 2003. The SMDC board consists of six
elected directors who, as representatives of all Saskatchewan
mustard producers, direct the operations and programs of the SMDC.
Directors are not paid a salary; however, they do receive a per
diem for the actual days spent on SMDC business. Expenses are
also reimbursed.
SMDC Directors attend approximately six regular
board meetings a year and are also called upon to represent the
SMDC at meetings and major conferences that impact the mustard
industry. The total time commitment is approximately 10-12 days
per year.
To stand for office, nominate or vote, the person
must be a registered producer with the SMDC. A registered producer
is any producer who has had a Saskatchewan mustard check-off deducted
since August 1, 2006. All producers selling Saskatchewan grown
mustard to registered buyers are automatically registered with
the SMDC. A registered producer is not eligible to be nominated
as a director if he or she has requested or received a refund
of check-offs in the two year period before the day he or she
is nominated.
A registered producer that is a corporation,
partnership, association, society, or a person carrying on business
under a corporate name, trade name, farm name or other designation
is entitled to vote and to hold office through a designated representative
who has been appointed in writing.
