One of the many benefits of being a member of this farmer-owned cooperative is participating in important decisions by electing the governing body. Each of All West Territory’s 20 districts is led by a Director and a Delegate. Cattle producers are elected by their fellow cooperative members to serve in these positions for a three-year term.
This Fall, seven district elections were held to elect delegates and directors to serve the next three-year term. Several of these elections were conducted via mail-in ballot, while others took place at an in-person district meeting and election. We truly appreciate all of the member-owners who attended these events to network with fellow cattle producers, ask important questions, and get to know each other, as well as All West staff members.
