APAS reps are part of a team of dedicated farmers and ranchers that actively contributes to improving the agricultural industry in our province.
What do APAS reps do?
Create Agricultural Policy: APAS reps gather input from producers in their communities, and use it to inform and develop non-partisan agricultural policy through participation in:
- District meetings
- APAS general meetings
- Policy committees/task forces
- Webinars
Govern: APAS reps sit on APAS policy committees, vote at general meetings, and elect and run as directors for their districts.
Communicate: Reps ensure that key information flows between APAS, RM councillors and RM ratepayers.
Represent: APAS reps give a voice to their communities by participating in APAS meetings and keeping local RM councillors and individual members informed of APAS activities, policies and current agricultural issues.
Build Community & Expertise: Reps build relationships with other producers across Saskatchewan and develop expertise on a wide range of agricultural and governance issues.
