Calling for Nominations

Every year, the over 3,000 farm business owners of River Valley Cooperative are asked to vote upon representation in our boardroom. Nine of our member-owners serve on your River Valley Cooperative board, representing the rest of the owners. Board members from Iowa include Brent Daufeldt, Neal Keppy, Nick Novak, Matt Parrott, and Joe Sperfslage. Illinois board members are Brian Corkill, Randy Haars, Doug Nelson, and Ken Nelson.
 
Three of these board seats are up each year for election to a three-year term. This year, seats served by Nick Novak of Lost Nation, Iowa, Brent Daufeldt of West Liberty, Iowa, and Randy Haars of Geneseo, Illinois, are up for election. All have expressed a desire to serve another term if elected. 
 
A nominating committee of four Class A members chaired by Doug Nelson will identify other potential candidates to run for these seats. If you are a Class A member of River Valley Cooperative and would like to consider being a candidate for the River Valley Cooperative board, please contact Doug Nelson at 309-945-8808 or Tim Burress at 563-320-1403 by September 15, 2022.
