and promotion program authorized by the Egg Research and Consumer Information Act of 1974. For more information, con- tact Barbara Josselyn at 202-713-6918 or Barbara.Josselyn@usda.gov. Since 1966, Congress has authorized the development of industry-funded re- search and promotion boards to provide a framework for agricultural sectors to pool their resources and combine efforts to develop new markets, strengthen ex- isting markets and conduct important research and promotion activities. USDA said its policy is that the boards, councils and committees it oversees should reflect
the diversity of their industries in terms of the experience of members, methods of production and distribution, market- ing strategies and other distinguishing factors, including individuals from his- torically underserved communities, that will bring different perspectives. Throughout the full nomination pro- cess, USDA said the industry must con- duct extensive outreach, paying particular attention to reaching underserved com- munities, and consider the diversity of the population served and the knowledge, skills and abilities of the members to serve a diverse population.
The American Egg Board is seeking nominees to fill 10 member and nine alter- nate-member vacancies. One appointed member will serve a one-year term due to a resignation, and the remaining nine mem- bers and nine alternate members will serve two-year terms beginning March 2023 and ending March 2025. Deadline for nomina- tions is Aug. 5. Any egg producers owning 75,000 or
more laying hens may be nominated by a certified eligible operation. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will select ap- pointees from the nominated producers. Nomination forms, a list of the three ar- eas and the certified eligible operations within each area are available on the USDA American Egg Board webpage. The board is composed of 18 members and 18 alter- nates, and administers the egg research
