BOARD OF DIRECTORS
A collective voice of B.C. agriculture
The BC Agriculture Council unites the efforts of our partners and member associations as well as the provincial and federal government to lead BC agriculture in pursuit of our mission. However, we would not be able to lead the industry without the direction of our professional and dedicated Board. Meet the farmers and ranchers who form the governing body of BCAC and are working together to advance BC agriculture.
