Annual Meeting Results

It has been a busy week here at Yankee as we held annual meetings Monday in Middlebury, VT; Tuesday in both Hanover, NH and Newport, VT; and wrapping up last night in St. Albans, VT. At each meeting members had the opportunity to listen to director candidates, vote for directors in their region, hear from Brenda Frank, CEO and Paul Franklin, Board Chair about the state of the Association, and observe a presentation on survey results about transferring farm ownership conducted by Business Consultant Joanna Lidback.

Last night members completed voting for directors, ballots were counted, and the results were announced before the meeting was adjourned.
Elected to three year terms on the board of directors were:
Region 1 – Celeste Kane-Stebbins
Region 2 – Kyle Thygesen
Region 3 – Paul Franklin
Congratulations to Celeste, Kyle and Paul, and thanks to Anne Lincoln and Joseph O'Gorman for participating in the elections as candidates.

Thank you to the members that participated, and a special thanks to employees for organizing and running successful meetings. We welcome any feedback about annual meetings. If you have questions or comments please let us know! You can email your thoughts or give our Corporate Secretary, Jim Mills, a call at 800-639-3053.
