ISA seeks applicants for district elections

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — The Illinois Soybean Association seeks qualified candidates to fill board seats representing six districts that are up for election in 2025:

• District 3: Whiteside, Rock Island, Henry, Mercer, Henderson, Stark and Warren counties.

• District 4: Bureau, La Salle, Grundy and Kendall counties.

• District 6: Woodford, Livingston and McLean counties.

• District 8: Hancock, McDonough, Adams, Brown and Schuyler counties.

• District 15: Madison, Monroe, St. Clair and Clinton counties.

• District 18: Franklin, Hamilton, Williamson, Saline, Gallatin, Union, Johnson, Pope, Hardin, Alexander, Pulaski and Massac counties.

The ISA board is comprised of 18 district directors and six at-large directors. Board members serve a term of three years and are eligible for three total terms.

Eligibility to serve requires candidates be Illinois residents of legal voting age that contribute to the soybean checkoff. Candidates must also be residents within the district and maintain eligibility during their term.

The time a director devotes to the organization depends on their level of leadership and representation needs.

Those wishing to run as a write-in candidate must also meet the eligibility requirements and submit a declaration of intent to Illinois Department of Agriculture no later than 5 p.m. CST on June 27.

Contact Dustin Scott, ISA director of operations, at dustin.scott@ilsoy.org or 309-846-3673 to request either form or with any questions you may have.

ISA district elections will be held on July 8 at the University of Illinois Extension county offices in each district.
