Seed Industry Associations Take Next Step Towards Amalgamation

Five national seed industry associations have taken the next step towards becoming one new national association.
 
The five organizations, the Canadian Plant Technology Agency (CPTA); the Commercial Seed Analysts Association of Canada (CSAAC); the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association (CSGA); the Canadian Seed Institute (CSI); and the Canadian Seed Trade Association (CSTA), have now shared the detailed ratification package with their respective memberships for their votes.
 
The new organization will be called Seeds Canada.
 
Over the past year, the seed sector partners have been working closely together to prepare the information needed for members to make this decision. The ratification package includes details about the amalgamation, bylaws, finances, and governance structure.
 
Voting will take place over the summer.
