FCM Elections Next Week
It’s that time of year when Florida Citrus Mutual members can get out and determine the 21 individuals that will represent their interests on the Florida Citrus Mutual Board of Directors for the 2007–2008 season.
Members are encouraged to attend elections, which will be held in the 10 districts on Thursday, May 10. Mutual members are entitled to one vote for each entity owned in different legal capacities. Memberships which are not in individual names may be represented by a duly accredited representative appointed in writing.
Those members interested in running for a seat on the Board of Directors may run in the district in which they reside or any district in which they have groves in membership with Florida Citrus Mutual. Those running for office must declare prior to the election, which district they will seek election in.
