Governance

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.

Eligible Producers

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.

Delegates

The province is divided into five zones and producers in each zone elect seven zone delegates. Elected delegates serve in two-year terms, and can serve five consecutive terms before they must step aside and allow other interested cattle producers to become involved.

Upon election, delegates have the opportunity to communicate their skills with the commission, and become involved in areas that interest them. This might include becoming involved in internal committees or working groups, serving as a representative of ABP with another organization, or representing cattle producers at unique events.
