Sector Councils

 

 

The Organic Trade Association has reinstituted a sector council system to build community among groups of members. OTA Sector Councils will provide ongoing opportunities for networking, leadership development, and education. While Sector Councils will not act as policy-setting groups (that role remains the focus of OTA task forces), they will communicate sector issues, ideas, and concerns to OTA staff and Board. Additional details on Sector Council resources, requirements to prepare an annual report, opportunities to meet in person, and incentives to recruit new members, are available for download.
