Registration is now open for the U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC’s) 62nd Annual Board of Delegates Meeting. The meeting is scheduled to take place in Sacramento, California, from Monday, July 25, to Wednesday, July 27, 2022.
“In keeping with my theme, Together in Trade, you will have an opportunity to engage and work directly with members of the Council’s staff to deepen your understanding of the critical efforts they undertake globally for our industry,” said Council Chairman Chad Willis in comments about the meeting.
The Council’s summer meeting will highlight its work with key partners to build new demand for coarse grains, co-products and ethanol. Its seven Advisory Teams (A-teams) and five sectors will meet to discuss critical issues and provide guidance and priorities to the Council’s leadership. Its members will also approve the next fiscal year’s budget and vote in new members to the USGC Board of Directors.
“Our members’ direction will help us establish priorities in the coming year and guide the Council’s efforts with new programs it is undertaking to find and grow global markets,” Willis said. “I am confident you will leave this meeting with a renewed dedication to the work we can do together to build coarse grains and ethanol exports while fulfilling the Council’s mission.”
