The Colorado CCA board consists of individuals who represent various Colorado governmental institutions and agencies, as well as industry groups involved in supplying production inputs and advising growers in Colorado. Each Board member is appointed by their sponsoring organization for a 3-year term and is eligible to serve two terms.
