Board Member Nominations
Nominate Candidates for PFI’s Board of Directors
Practical Farmers of Iowa’s board governance committee revised the board election process. The goal of the revision is to ensure a transparent, equitable process to source, vet and nominate candidates for PFI’s board of directors.
This year, PFI is seeking two at-large farmer candidates. At-large candidates can come from any PFI region and must be active farmers. Learn more about board member service expectations. Learn more about the current board.
