Leadership

Your Cooperative. Your Voice. Your Representation.

Our Board of Directors is comprised of AgGeorgia members—farmers, landowners, and business professionals representing the diverse regional and industry segments of our 79-county service area. All are elected by our borrowers (with the exception of two board appointed directors) to serve the organization.

Who better than fellow members from your area to keep your best interests in mind? Get acquainted with the current AgGeorgia Farm Credit Board of Directors and Executive Leadership Team below.
