• Be willing to represent and communicate with his-her constituents regularly.
• Take the time to actively support Potatoes USA programs in his-her area.
• Speak to grower groups, newspaper reporters and interested parties about Potatoes USA programs, relating the value of the Board to all growers, how the 3-cent per hundredweight assessment is invested and ask for input from those interested in becoming active in the promotion of potatoes.
