A reminder, Building OFA's new structure Over the generations, a lot has been said about change. Some people support change, some tend to resist change, while some say it doesn't matter to them. As Ontario's largest general farm organization, the Ontario federation of Agriculture knows how important change is to remaining relevant. When the world around you changes and you stand still, you become irrelevant. The agriculture industry has changed radically over recent decades, and OFA must change with it! We're in the midst of a major change right now. This change to OFA's governance structure began two years ago with a resolution from one of our county federations. History has taught us that successful change begins at the grassroots level. The idea of having a smaller board of directors for OFA had been debated for years. Some felt the larger board could no longer be effective and efficient. That was the focus of the 2005 resolution and subsequent decisions made at OFA conventions. Now OFA members are being called on to elect mem- bers for an 18 -member board of directors. Four direc- tors were acclaimed to office - those in Northern, Ontario, Huron and Perth Counties, Peel, York and Simcoe Counties, and those in Prescott, Stormont, Russell and Glengarry Counties. Voting is under way For OFA members in the remainder of the province, voting is currently underway. Members have been sent ballots which they can mark and return to OFA by mail, or by depositing them in a ballot box at Federation House - the OFA building at Canada's Outdoor Farm Show near Woodstock from Sept. 9 - 11. Successful can- didates will be announced as soon as possible after the Sept. 12 closing date. This process will give us 15 directors. Three directors - at -large will then be elected at the annual meeting of the OFA in Toronto Nov. 24 and 25. Another key component of OFA's new governance structure will be the Policy Advisory Council. Every county, region or district in Ontario will be electing rep- resentatives to this council at the annual regional meet- ings scheduled for September, October, and November. That council will meet approximately four times each year to discuss policy issues impacting agriculture. The results of those discussions will become the basis for decisions made by the Board of Directors. Convention delegates will also be responsible for electing OFA's president and two vice-presidents, much the same as in the recent past. For this process to be successful, we need OFA mem- bers to get to know the candidates and vote to exemplify OFA's grassroots, democratic structure. Remember, you have until Sept. 12 to cast your ballot. Neil Currie, Ontario Federation of Agriculture General Manager membership dues have been reduced to $5 for the remain- der of the year.
