Serve as a Key Cooperative Director

Agriculture is evolving,
and so are we!
As champions of modern agriculture, Key Cooperative is transforming ag by maximizing the potential of technology. If you’re a leader of our cooperative, you get a front row seat!
As a member-owned organization, Key Cooperative is governed by a 12- or 13-person Board of Directors. Ten members are elected, and two or three are appointed. Each fall, we invite our member-owners to consider running in or nominating candidates for the upcoming December election.
If you’re interested in serving, please contact Board President Bryce Arkema (Bryce.Arkema@keycoop.com) or Vice President Mike Engbers (Mike.Engbers@keycoop.com). New directors are announced at the Annual Meeting and take their seats in January.
