CWC Board Members

Effective January 1, 2010, Assembly Bill No. 735 changed the composition of the California Wheat Commission Board.  The Bill reduced the number of districts to 13, changed the boundaries of districts, and authorized the number of districts to be changed by a 2/3 vote of the commission, with proper notice provided and concurrence by the secretary to ensure proper representation by producers. 

The Board now consists of thirteen wheat producers, two handlers, two at-large members, and one public member -- each with alternates.
