Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program has openings on 
its committees as indicated below. If you would like to nominate yourself

would appreciate receiving nominations no later than October 30.

overall policy for the region and makes the final funding decisions. It 
usually meets 3 times a year - in January, March, and July. The next 
meeting will be in mid-January.

			on agriculture
