The PEI Potato Board consists of grower elected table, seed and processing directors from each of three districts for a total of 12 directors. The General Manager of the PEI Potato Board is Greg Donald and the current Chairman of the Board is John Visser. The Processing Committee operates as a committee of the PEI Potato Board and consists of nine grower elected members and two processing directors from the PEI Potato Board. Growers are elected to three-year terms. The primary mandate of the Processing Committee is to negotiate processing contracts on behalf of the growers of Prince Edward Island. All contracts are voted on by the growers for final approval.
