Ontario FS directors attend Summit

For the fifth year in a row, Ontario FS System directors got together to share information and gain more knowledge about the director's role, responsibilities and capabilities within the co-operative organization.

The three-day FS Director Summit was held at Blue Mountain Resort and Conference Centre and was attended by 90 people. The event itself and some of the specific training counted towards director certification credits.

Dan Kelley GROWMARK chairman of the board and president, Dennis Farmer senior vice president, Member Services & Retail, Jim Spradlin vice president Agronomy and Matt Hynes manager, Agronomy Marketing & Agronomic Services spoke on a variety of topics. There was also a youth component with Kerr Smith from the Ontario Co-operative Association and Sylvia Megans, 2011 4-H Ontario Ambassador spoke about the importance of supporting youth leadership programs. Chuck Spencer Director Government Affairs closed the program with an interesting presentation on American politics.
