The California Walnut Board is conducting its biennial election of walnut growers and handlers statewide to serve as members and alternates for the next two-year term beginning on September 1, 2021 and ending on August 31, 2023.
Nomination petitions to have a candidate’s name included on the California Walnut Board 2021 nomination ballot were mailed to all growers in early March. In mid-April, ballots listing the eligible candidates for grower positions will be mailed to all walnut growers in California. Growers will nominate two members and alternates to represent their district as well as one member and alternate for the statewide position. The nominees receiving the most votes in each district and at-large for representatives on the California Walnut Board will be presented to the Secretary of Agriculture in consideration for appointment.
