Clay Co. Fair Seeks Board Candidates, Association Members

July 01, 2022 Steve Schwaller

(Spencer)– The Clay County Fair Association is seeking candidates for the Board of Directors as well as interested individuals to become members of the association.

Each year the Association’s nominating committee seeks individuals to serve as well as candidates for election to the Board of Directors. The committee then reviews all interested candidates for possible inclusion on a ballot that will be submitted to the Fair Association membership as part of their annual meeting in October. Eligible candidates must have been a member of the Fair Association for a minimum of one year prior to their election.

Members of the 27-person Board of Directors are elected to three-year staggered terms with nine positions filled each year. The Board of Directors is responsible for electing the Executive Committee and approving changes to the Association’s bylaws.

Applications are available at https://claycountyfair.com/contact/board-members/.

Association members are also being sought. Any individual or business can become a member by paying a $100 lifetime membership fee. The association membership meets annually in October. More information on that is available by calling the Fair Administrative Offices at 712-580-3000.
