Thank you to Tracy Niemela 

The Alberta-British Columbia Seed Growers would like to recognize past chair and director Tracy Niemela for her years of service to the organization. 

Upon reflection of her time on the board, Tracy wanted to let future generations know that there is no better way to learn about the industry and build confidence than by volunteering with ABCSG. 

“All in all, my time on the board was valuable and worthwhile.  I’m grateful for the relationships built and the experiences I had during my time…” she added. 

Thank you Tracy!
