The Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Prgoram
(SSARE) will have five vacancies on its Administrative Council (AC)

vacancy is for a nongovernmental organization (NGO) representative
involved in sustainable agriculture. Three are for producers who
have demonstrated sustainable agricultural expertise and/or
experience; and one is for a social scientist with research
experience in agriculture to inform the AC on "quality of life"
issues as they relate to sustainability.
The AC is the governing body of the SSARE program and is a diverse

agribusiness representative, and a number of 1862, 1890, federal and
state governmental agency representatives. The AC meets twice per

AC members are part of standing committees, which may meet or
communicate through conference calls to decide policy issues related
to SSARE.
