Agriculture In The Classroom Establishes Board Advisory Committee

Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C), along with its ten provincial member organizations, has established a Board Advisory Committee (BAC) to offer insight and expertise.
 
“We are so excited to welcome these agriculture education champions from a diverse cross section of Canadian agriculture,” said Johanne Ross, Executive Director of AITC-C. “We have been lucky to appoint seven highly knowledgeable professionals with a wealth of experience from the sector. We are excited to see how they will help guide our organization to greatness.”
 
The seven appointees were chosen by the AITC Board Nominations Committee and will serve a two-year term.
 
The following individuals have been appointed to the BAC: Agassou Jones (NS), Becky Parker (BC), Kelly Green (MB), Lindsey Verhaeghe (AB), Nadine Sisk (ON), Teresa Vallotton (MB) and Trish Jordan (MB).
 
As a volunteer group, the BAC will meet at least twice a year.
 
The BAC will support AITC-C in efforts to build its profile, enhance communications, and build fundraising strategies.
 
The committee will review and support the development of strategic plans, while being a sounding board for new ideas and champion AITC-C within their own networks.
