The CWC in partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) welcomes participation of women, minorities and people with disabilities.
Following are the specifications for the election:
Every two years the Commission law provides for the nomination of 13 members and 13 alternates that will be appointed by the California Secretary of Food and Agriculture.
The following is a list of the member and corresponding alternate positions for the CWC:
- Eight Producer Members (four from each district)
- Four Handler Members
- One Public Member (nominated by 12 elected members)
All producers and handlers participating in the election should have completed a nomination form by May 31 for their name to appear on the ballot. The CWC anticipates that ballots will be mailed in late June, and the election results will most likely be announced in August. You are highly encouraged to vote. Write-in votes are accepted.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the CWC office at (916) 932-7070.
The CWC is actively involved in advocacy issues impacting public policy (local, state and federal), pending regulation, walnut market growth and expansion.
The CWB is taking actions to be more engaged than ever before with industry stakeholders and is working to better understand the issues you are facing on the farm.
