As a lending cooperative, AgCarolina Farm Credit is owned by its member-stockholders (eligible customers who have loans with us). These member-stockholders participate in electing our Board of Directors and Nominating Committee. The Board of Directors establish our policies and make important decisions about our organization. The Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying, evaluating, and nominating suitable candidates for each open Stockholder-Elected Director and nominating committee position. An annual stockholders' meeting is held each year, followed by the voting process conducted by mail ballot.
All Stockholder-Elected Director positions hold a four-year term. In order to stand for election to a Stockholder-Elected Director position, the candidate must be a holder or joint holder of Class C Common Stock of the Association, and be a resident of or have the candidate's farm operations headquartered in the Nominating Region corresponding to such position. In the case of At-Large positions, the candidate must be a resident of or have the candidate's farm operations headquartered anywhere within the Association's 46-county territory. An individual is deemed to reside where the individual maintains his or her primary residence.
