As we approach OFA’s 2023 Annual General Meeting, it is our pleasure to announce that we have five candidates running for one Director-at-Large position on the Board of Directors. The position is for a three-year term beginning immediately following the annual meeting.

The role of a director offers the opportunity to speak up, engage and influence meaningful change at the provincial level. Directors advocate on behalf of Ontario farm businesses, connect with grassroots members and industry partners on key issues and priorities impacting the agri-food sector, and influence policy development and strategic planning for the organization. This active role works in collaboration with energetic and enthusiastic board members and staff to ensure the farming and food sector continues to thrive across the province.
