NOTE: Joerg will remain on the FMC Board of Directors for 2017-18 Patrice Carle, Secretary/Treasurer – QC (Organization/Association Representative: Centre d’expertise en gestion agricole) With a bachelor's degree in agro economics (1987) from Université Laval, Patrice began his professional life with the Syndicat de gestion agricole Lévis-Bellechasse. This position allowed Patrice to acquaint himself with farm work and to learn a great deal about farm management. In 2000, he became the Executive Director of a dairy cooperative, where he learned a great deal about marketing farm products. Patrice also worked in the private sector as the supply manager for an animal food company. His main role was to monitor all of the hedging operations. He spent six years working in this sector. 
Patrice has been working for the Centre d’expertise en gestion agricole (CEGA) since September 2009. The CEGA, whose board is made up of 13 directors representing “agricultural Quebec,” is devoted to farm management. It is a second line centre that handles training, local and global business intelligence, as well as joint research and analysis. The CEGA also actively promotes farm management. Patrice has a real passion for farm management; He sits on the management committee of the Centre de référence en agriculture et agroalimentaire du Québec (CRAAQ). Patrice believes that farming is a business like every other sector of the economy. And the numbers show that it is always the real managers who succeed, even in times of crisis. NOTE: Patrice will remain on the FMC Board of Directors for 2017-18 Humphrey Banack, Director – AB (Organization/Association Representative: Canadian Federation of Agriculture) Humphrey Banack and his wife, Terry, operate a 4500 acre, third generation farm in the Round Hill area of Alberta (80 kilometers southeast of Edmonton). Over time they have developed their business by shifting from a 700 acre diversified operation focused on livestock production to a specialized crop operation with about 7000 acres of pulses, oilseeds and coarse grains. This transition has taken place alongside 2 intergenerational transfers, with a number of the Banack family very much involved in agriculture as Humphrey’s brother and son operate separate operations nearby which enables the family to share equipment and management resources. 
Throughout this transition, business management skills development has been critical to their success. In shifting from a diversified operation to greater specialization, they have been able to better leverage their management resources and achieve economies of scale. However, management skills development is an ongoing process for the entire family. For Humphrey, his time is increasingly dedicated to HR management and marketing and developing the skills needed to succeed in these areas. In addition, what began as a farm operation managed based on the practices they were seeing in the field, the Banack farm is now managed on defined management targets focusing on the return-on-investment and incorporating best management practices from within the agriculture industry and other sectors. Humphrey maintains a strong commitment to a viable agricultural industry and is involved in a wide array of interests that work towards the achievement of this vision. In February 2011, Humphrey was elected Vice President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA), a position Humphrey enjoys, as it provides him with an “opportunity to meet with, and discuss important agricultural issues with producers from all across Canada and the world.” Prior to his election to the CFA, Humphrey gained farm association experience with the Alberta Federation of Agriculture. His experience with the AFA began in 2003 as a Regional Director, before serving as President from 2008-2012. Additionally, in 1998 Humphrey was elected as a Regional Delegate with Alberta Pork – a role he participated in until 2004 when he exited the pork industry. NOTE: Humphrey will remain on the FMC Board of Directors for 2017-18 Anne Marie Kerr (Diotte), Director – ON (Provincial/Territorial Ministry Representative) Anne Marie Diotte is the Program Coordinator in the Business Management Unit at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Although Anne Marie works on developing programs, tools, resources and information for producers across the various areas of business management, her work focusses mostly on the development, implementation and administration of Growing Forward 2 programs in Ontario; specifically Market Development, Labour Productivity, Business and Leadership Development. Anne Marie also administers various agreements for the Ministry. 
NOTE: Anne Marie will remain on the FMC Board of Directors for 2017-18 Danielle Lee, Director – AB (Young Farmer) Danielle currently farms with her Mother and other family members on their 104 year old family farm just west of Calgary, in Springbank. The family raises a small herd of commercial beef cattle using Angus genetics which they calve out in springtime. They also have a small flock of North Country Cheviot sheep, which they raise to market weight and sell directly to consumers. 
On their farm they also put up hay for their own livestock as well as to sell into the local equine market. Danielle is currently on the Board of the Canadian Young Farmers Forum (CYFF) serving as the representative for Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory. She is also strongly involved in agriculture education programs such as the Calgary Stampede's Aggie Days, as well as being a volunteer for many years with other agriculture programs at the Calgary Stampede.
