Committees serve a vital purpose in forming the direction of the Oregon Seed Association and promoting the cause of the organization:

  • Committees serve as a training ground for future association leaders.
  • Committees serve as a conduit through which the Board receives member input.
  • Committees enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors by providing research analysis and advice needed for policy decisions.

A special “Thank You” to all of you who volunteer to serve on our committees!
