Board Leadership and Elections

The Indiana Corn Marketing Council Board of Directors consists of 15 volunteer farmers and two appointed directors from Indiana farm organizations who govern the organizations to use of Indiana corn checkoff funds. The Board of Directors also includes 12 ex-officios who serve as non-voting members. The board is hyper-focused to build demand and ensure a strong future for corn farmers through four strategic focus areas: Market Development, Sustainability, Value Creation, & Producer Engagement. 

Nine District Directors, representing specific districts, as well as six At-Large Directors, who represent the entire state of Indiana, serve three-year terms when elected. The elections take place every summer, and new board members take office October 1st.
