The U.S. Grains Council is currently accepting applications for Advisory Teams (A-Teams) through April 30.

The A-Teams provide insight and guidance to the USGC Board of Directors on the direction and activities of the Council. A-Team members serve a two-year term, renewable without limit at the discretion of the Board. Current delegates whose terms expire in 2014 must submit a new application if they wish to continue to serve on an A-Team. Interested USGC delegates not currently serving are encouraged to apply.

The Board of Directors will finalize and announce A-Team member appointments for the 2014-2016 term prior to the 54th Annual Board of Delegates Meeting in July. These new appointments will begin Aug. 1. Contact Valerie Smiley, USGC manager of membership administration, at 202-789-0789 or vsmiley@grains.org for more information.
