ABP is structured to ensure the democratic representation of all producers, to encourage direct feedback from the grassroots, and to ensure that the organization is consistently revitalized with fresh ideas and representatives. Provincial legislation outlines the ABP’s basic structure, objectives and powers and provides for a check-off on all cattle marketed in order to finance its activities.
All cattle producers in Alberta who have paid a check-off in the previous 24 months are eligible to vote and/or run as a delegate.
The province is divided into five zones and producers in each zone elect seven zone delegates. ABP delegates annually elect directors to sit on the ABP board. The Board of Directors then elects a chair, vice chair and finance chair.
Stay informed and connected with your local ABP representatives. Knowing your Zone Delegates and Directors ensures you have direct access for questions, conversation, and suggestions.
Your voice matters in shaping the future of our industry. By becoming a delegate, you provide essential guidance and direction, acting as a vital liaison between producers and the commission.
