Nominations are being sought from the three districts in California, encompassing all of the production areas.
Nomination forms were mailed to growers in each district on April 3rd and should be returned to the Kiwifruit Administrative Committee postmarked no later than April 18, 2015. Eligible candidates include kiwifruit growers who produce kiwifruit for the fresh market, and employees of growers. Ballots will be mailed to all growers in early May.
The Kiwifruit Administrative Committee is the official body that administers the federal marketing order for kiwifruit. The Kiwifruit Administrative Committee has made a commitment to enhance the diversity of the organization and is working in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to encourage eligible women, minorities, people with disabilities, organic or non-conventional producers, small businesses, and individuals who have never served on the Committee to serve as committee members or alternates. All eligible candidates are encouraged to participate in the nomination process.
