The U.S. Grains Council recently announced it is soliciting applications for its seven Advisory Teams, known as A-teams, for the 2019-2021 term. This includes the organization&rsquo;s Ethanol A-team. &nbsp;
A statement released by the USGC explains that A-teams are comprised of USGC members who provide insight and guidance on designated topics to the USGC&rsquo;s staff and board of directors. The group&rsquo;s seven A-teams currently focus on ethanol, Asia, innovation and sustainability, Middle East/Africa, trade policy, value-added, and western hemisphere.
&ldquo;Being an Advisory Team member is a great way to become more knowledgeable about the Council&rsquo;s export market development work and bring your organization&rsquo;s perspective and ideas to the Council&rsquo;s program planning process,&rdquo; said USGC Chairman Jim Stitzlein in statement released by USGC. &ldquo;Sharing your expertise provides valuable insight and guidance to the Council staff and the USGC board of directors.&rdquo;
The USGC said A-team members assist the council in engaging influential decision-makers in global markets to achieve mutual success. Input from A-teams and the USGS&rsquo;s international staff also forms the backbone of the council&rsquo;s operational blueprint and long-term planning document, which allows the organization to apply for funds from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service.
The USGC currently lists 30 members of the Ethanol A-team on its website, including those representing several ethanol plants and a variety of ethanol trade groups. <a href="https://grains.org/about/advisory-teams/ethanol/">https://grains.org/about/advisory-teams/ethanol/</a>
Applications to join the Ethanol A-Team are due April 26. Appointments will be announced in July, with new A-term members beginning their terms on Aug. 6.
Additional information, including a link to the applications form, is available on the USGC website. <a href="https://grains.org/applications-open-for-usgc-advisory-teams-2/">https://grains.org/applications-open-for-usgc-advisory-teams-2/</a>
