The BFO Annual General Meeting draws hundreds of attendees from many facets of the agricultural and livestock sectors. It’s an excellent opportunity to further showcase your organization through sponsorship and/or tradeshow participation. Sponsors are given broad exposure in a number of different mediums, including recognition in the Ontario Beef magazine, which is sent to over 16,000 homes and businesses in Ontario. If your company is interested in providing sponsorship, the package below summarizes the return on investment you will receive at the various sponsorship levels.
The degree to which Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO) can provide leadership in responding to industry needs is heavily dependent on the competencies and leadership of the BFO Board of Directors, committee members and BFO representatives to the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA). As a producer-driven organization, elected officials of BFO play a key role in identifying and prioritizing issues to better the Ontario beef sector, and provide direction in developing and advancing solutions to address a variety of issues in the areas of economic sustainability, animal health and welfare, food safety, environment, and domestic and export market development.
BFO is currently calling for nominations for various positions with the BFO Board of Directors, BFO Committees, and CCA representatives. Candidates will be elected at the BFO Annual General Meeting (AGM) taking place on February 19 & 20, 2025 in Toronto.
