UFA has a unique governance structure which connects our member/owners to our co-operative roots. Geographical areas referred to as districts are governed by a “delegate” who is elected by our member/owners within the districts. If only one nomination is received per district, the candidate may be acclaimed.

Delegates use their Ag experience, knowledge of the industry and community relationships to provide insight and guidance, ensuring the voice of the member/owner is heard.

Delegates provide leadership by being an advocate for UFA and supporting and representing UFA at community events within the district they represent.

In return, delegates are provided with opportunities for professional development that include:

  • Networking
  • Governance development
  • Communication
  • Leadership

Those interested in being nominated for the position of a UFA delegate are asked to self-assess their qualifications, skills and experience. In the space provided below, please provide a summary of your skills and experience in each category. This summary and your Personal Statement of Interest will be used for the purpose of developing a communication to members regarding the candidates running for election and their respective qualifications.
