Finance Committee
Our effectiveness as an agricultural advocacy organization is dependent upon having the financial resources to interact and support organizations and activities that have similar goals. By remaining financially stable we are better able to represent farmers and ranchers, and serve as an advocate for the agricultural community.
The Finance Committee, appointed by the President, is responsible for helping to maintain the fiscal integrity of the Tulare County Farm Bureau by working to manage the corporation’s investments.
The committee also provides recommendations to the TCFB Education and Scholarship Fund’s Board of Trustees to govern the investments of the charitable trust, a separate 501(c)3.
For more information about the Finance Committee’s work, you may review the investment policies of the organization by contacting the office. The Tulare County Farm Bureau is a 501(c)5 organization.
The Finance Committee meets quarterly to review the Financial Statements of the corporation, and is chaired by the currently seated Treasurer of the TCFB Board of Directors. Directors on Finance serve at the pleasure of the Board and President. The President, Current and Past Treasurer, and up to 3 at-large directors are seated to the Finance Committee, along with a non-voting advisory member who provides investment services.
