National Mango Board accepting nominees for importer position

The National Mango Board (NMB) is inviting mango industry leaders to step forward and participate in the nominations process to become a board member. Board members have the chance to contribute in shaping the future and direction of the NMB in upcoming years. The NMB is currently seeking nominations for one District III importer position to complete a current term beginning immediately upon appointment. Candidates must meet certain requirements to be eligible and be willing to serve the mango industry by fulfilling board member roles and responsibilities.

The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture ultimately makes the appointments to the board from the final slate of nominees. For the importer position, two nominees will be forwarded to the Secretary of Agriculture. To narrow the selection from many nominees to the two required for submission, mango industry members of District III will vote to select the two nominees for the position from which the Secretary of Agriculture will choose.

Mango industry members who are interested in serving as a member of the NMB should visit mango.org/nominations for complete details, updates, and the necessary forms. The deadline for District III nominations are to be received at the NMB office by June 8, 2015.
