BOARD MEMBERS & TRUSTEES

Rod Giltz, Chairman of the Board at Miner Institute

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

ROD GILTZ

It is a privilege to serve as Chair on the Miner Institute’s Board of Trustees. I accept this responsibility from a place of great pride - the reach of this organization’s influence is profound, serving the agricultural needs of the North Country and the world beyond. My expectation is that our work as trustees will help further the Education, Research and Demonstration goals and provide guidance as we navigate the next chapter in the institute’s history.

JOSEPH BURKE

A POEM BY FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

The Institutions that will last

must link the wisdom from the past

with the fresh findings of what's new

to build their plans for what they do

Research to probe for all that's best

Demonstration they meet the test

Education to teach the skills

to farm the land the farmer tills

Bountiful crops and preserved land

Animals well cared for and manned

That was the William Miner way

And we continue it today
