Nominating Committee

Who knows better what farmers need than farmers themselves? AgCredit’s Nominating Committee is a committee comprised of 18 stockholders representing the 18 Counties within our Northern Ohio chartered territory. They are elected by the voting stockholders of the cooperative.

As a nominating committee member, their responsibility is to identify, evaluate, and nominate at least two willing and suit­able candidates for each open director posi­tion. By being the representative of their own County, they better know who would make a strong director candidate.

The committee also nominates candidates to replace themselves on the next year’s Nominating Committee. Because a nominating committee is not a committee of the board, its independence from board and management influence is critical to the success of our financial coop­erative and the preservation of stockholder control.
