We are GENEX By Huub te Plate, Chief Operating Officer, GENEX
Member representation at GENEX is achieved by dairy and beef producer members across the USA electing delegates and alternates for their respective membership region. In addition to electing the GENEX council members (also dairy and beef producers from across the USA), these delegates and alternates represent members’ interests at two important events during the year: fall input meetings and the annual meeting. During both events, delegates and alternates hear from and provide input to the cooperative’s council and management. The delegate input meetings are always interactive. The typical agenda for the event includes a director’s report with financial, governance and strategic information as well as a management report focused on GENEX and industry happenings. For many delegates, the highlight is what comes next: input sessions where we ask delegates and alternates for feedback on particular topics. Most recently, we asked delegates what sets GENEX apart, how do we want to differentiate GENEX and how should GENEX be identified as a brand? In essence, besides delivering world-class products and services, what do you want GENEX to be? Your delegates’ top answers are listed below.
