Special Meeting: Event Details & Registration

The Colorado Farm Bureau will be holding a special meeting for delegate to discuss a proposed bylaw change. The meeting will take place on August 24, 2020 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) at the Colorado Farm Bureau office: 9177 E. Mineral Circle, Centennial, CO 80112 (North Parking Lot).

This special meeting will be held to discuss an important bylaw change that is being referred by the board of directors. The change addresses flexibility in regards to CFB’s annual meeting. Because of the challenges COVID-19 has presented all membership organizations, Farm Bureau staff and leaders, across the nation, have been discussing and preparing for their respective annual meetings. CFB’s annual meeting is not only a keystone event, but it is also where important business of the organization is conducted.

Hopefully, the event can still occur in-person, however, the organization must prepare for the unknown and the board of directors has drafted a proposed bylaw change to allow for needed flexibility in this trying time. The changes reflect the same flexibility that we afford the board to conduct the important business of the delegate body should we not be able to meet in person. There is also a provision that allows action in an emergency situation, similar to those AFBF and some other states have in their bylaws.
