As a member-owned cooperative, American AgCredit encourages eligible stockholders to take an active role in governance. Stockholders can help shape the future of the Association by serving on the Board of Directors or the Nominating Committee, or by recommending qualified candidates for these important leadership roles that guide the Association’s future direction and support its mission to serve agriculture. Stockholder elections are held annually.
The Board of Directors represents American AgCredit stockholders and provides oversight of the Association’s strategy, direction, and overall governance. The Board works with executive leadership to support the long-term success of the Association while serving the interests of stockholders.
The AAC Board of Directors is made up of 16 elected and 4 appointed directors. Directors are elected to serve five-year terms.
