Lancaster DHIA Board of Directors, Technician and Office Staff
What best describes a technician?
Webster says this… A technician is a person skilled in the technicalities of a subject, a technical expert.
We also see the skills in our technicians. They make Lancaster DHIA what it really is. A group of professional men and women who want to serve the dairymen to help improve the dairy industry for future generations.
Our board of directors comprises 16 dairymen dedicated to improving the dairy industry.
Lancaster DHIA is broken into five regions, with three directors in each region. Directors serve for three year terms, with a maximum of five consecutive terms. Officers are elected by the full board at the reorganization meeting following new elections. The board members are placed on one of three committees.
The Lab Committee has oversight of all operations of the lab as well as Bylaws. The Field Committee has oversight of technicians and all aspects of field operations. The Finance Committee reviews all financial records and financial planning. Committees meet over winter before the full board meeting, and present findings and suggestions to the full board.
Please feel free to contact any board member with questions or suggestions for the board.
