Committees


Holstein Canada Member Committees

Holstein Canada is governed by members -- for members. Holstein Canada members are given the opportunity to self-govern through involvement on 10 Association committees. These committees allow the opportunity for grassroots members to provide their input and opinions on important topics relating to our Association and the Canadian dairy industry. Committee members are chosen from all regions across Canada for their respective expertise relating to a committee's subject matter. 

Each year, the committee list is reviewed and updated to ensure new members are appointed when necessary. Each committee is supported by Management Advisors from Holstein Canada's staff as well as Board of Directors who also serve on the committees.
