Board of Directors

District Directors

Meet the Illinois Soybean Association Board of Directors, 24 volunteer farmers who are committed to helping move Illinois soybeans forward – through research, promotions, and educational programs funded by the Illinois soybean checkoff. The ISA Board of Directors govern the organization’s use of checkoff and non-checkoff funds. Eighteen District Directors, representing specific regional areas, and six At-Large Directors, representing the entire state of Illinois, are elected each year on a state-wide basis.
