The Nominating Committee Process

The nominating committee is comprised of stockholders who own voting stock with the Association. The committee is responsible for identifying, evaluating and nominating at least two willing and qualified candidates for election to the board of directors for Southern AgCredit. The nominating committee is independent of the board and management, and is formed and controlled by the voting stockholders of the Association. Serving on the committee is one of the most important contributions that the Association’s stockholders can render.
