Board members’ terms coincide with TBC’s fiscal year that began Oct. 1, 2018.
The checkoff boards establish the budget and ultimately decide which demand building programs receive checkoff funding collected under the national and state beef checkoff programs. The board consists entirely of beef producers providing representation of the state through organization affiliation. In addition, the board may elect two directors at large, without nomination by a qualified organization, to round out the board with equitable geographic and sector representation. Directors can serve up to six consecutive one-year terms on the checkoff boards.
