Agri-Mark’s board of directors met last week for their annual reorganisation meeting. The board elected an executive committee to lead the cooperative for the coming year and appointed advisory directors to each serve a one-year term on the board of directors.
James Jacquier of Laurelbrook Farm, in East Canaan, Connecticut, was re-elected as chair. Jacquier has been on the cooperative’s board since 2011, and has served as chair since 2020.
Clara Ayer from Fairmont Farms, in East Montpelier, Vermont, steps into a new leadership role as vice chair. She replaces Blake Gendebien who previously served as vice chair and who has recently stepped down from the board of directors. For the past two years, Ayer served as the fifth executive committee member. She has been on the board of directors since 2022.
The board re-elected Eugene Audet as treasurer. Audet operates Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport, Vermont with his family. He has been on the board of directors since 2018, and this will mark his second term as treasurer.
In addition, the board re-elected Brian Lynch from Lyndale Farm in Antwerp, New York, to serve as secretary. Lynch has been on the board for eight years and this is his fourth term as secretary.
Walt Gladstone of Newmont Farm in Bradford, Vermont was elected to the fifth executive committee member role. Gladstone replaces Clara Ayer who previously served in that position and is the newly elected vice chair. Gladstone has been on the Board of Directors for three years. This marks his first leadership role on the board.
The board appointed Bill Lipinski of Hampden, Massachusetts, and Pat Muldoon of Lakeway, Texas, to serve as advisory directors. The appointments are for one-year. This is Lipinski’s fourth term and Muldoon’s second term as advisory directors.
“We have an exceptional team of talented and dedicated farmers on our board of directors. I am eager to work with my fellow executive committee members and with the guidance of our advisory directors as we drive forward with energy and purpose. Together, we are committed to accelerating our strategic initiatives and championing the success of our cooperative and fellow Agri-Mark farmers,” said Jacquier.
