New executive director for Saskatchewan farm group

MELFORT, Sask. – The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) has hired Dion McGrath as its new executive director.

McGrath brings extensive experience to the role from his stints in the public sector which included serving as the CEO of Southeast College in Weyburn, Sask.

He also is also working with his partner to create a digital marketing company called Above the Fold.

McGrath said one of the reasons he was attracted to APAS was how the organization evolved to become a leader in identifying policy solutions for the success of the ag community.

“Looking at the variety of issues that APAS has advocated on behalf of producers they have shown time and again to be an effective voice for ag producers and that is a great environment to be part of,” he said.
