More about the TPB Board
The Texas Pecan Board is a state commodity board under the auspices of the Texas Department of Agriculture. The TPB, like other state commodity boards, is required to operate as a governmental agency which means that they follow the Open Meetings Act, Open Records Act, and Board elections are certified by the state.
New board members are elected by Texas pecan growers every 2 years with staggered terms that expire in 6 years. The board meets several times per year by conference call and a TDA representative meets with the board to oversee activities. Additionally, the board meets face to face in a board meeting held in conjunction with the TPGA Annual Conference.
