OFA welcomes new board

To The Haldimand Press

Following a three-week nomination period for directors in five zones across the province, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) is proud to announce the return of a strong contingent of agricultural leaders as well as the addition of one new member to the organization’s Board of Directors.

Four directors were re-elected and acclaimed in their respective zones, including Louis Roesch in Zone 1, Jackie Kelly-Pemberton in Zone 11, Bruce Buttar in Zone 12, and Mark Kunkel in Zone 15. All elected nominees will serve for a three-year term, which begins immediately following OFA’s 2020 AGM in November.

“Strong leadership is very important for the future of Ontario’s agriculture and food industry,” said Peggy Brekveld, OFA Vice President. “These five elected members, both new and returning, have an incredible passion and dedication to growing our sector – locally, provincially, and federally.”
