Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This report covers the first phase of a broad, general examination of the selection, election, and performance of directors of major regional farmer cooperatives. Another part of the study will report on the duties and responsibilities of directors as appraised by managers and as reported by directors themselves. A third section of this project will describe the experience of cooperatives with director committees and will appraise their use as a management tool. This report is a review and analysis of bylaw provisions pertaining to the selection, qualification, and nomination of directors of major regional farmer cooperatives. It also covers voting rights and balloting methods that members employ in choosing their directors. The bylaws of 107 major regional farmer cooperatives marketing farm products, purchasing farm supplies, and furnishing farm business services are the basis for this study.
