The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan is looking for a new executive director.
In a News release
news issued Jan. 6, the organization said the departure of Don Saelhof was by mutual agreement between himself and the board.
Saelhof was hired Feb. 1, 2005.
“The organization is growing and he’s wanted to pursue other opportunities,” said APAS president Ken McBride.
Since APAS formed in 2000, it has had several key staff changes. McBride, who took over as president in December, said that’s part of the growing process.
He said it’s challenging to find staff with the right combination of administrative and operational experience along with policy knowledge.
“It’s tough to get the exact right fit.”
McBride said there are employees in place to keep the organization operating on a day-to-day basis, but APAS will look to replace Saelhof at some point.
The group is holding a strategic planning session this weekend.
