Warkentin adds that as president, Sayer will play an essential role in keeping the organization’s roots in agriculture and making it a key priority moving forward.

“With the opening of the Agri-food Hub & Trade Centre, LDE is leading the way in what it means to be an agricultural society in the present day, and Mark brings experiences and knowledge that will lead us forward in that pursuit.”

Sayers will serve as president until February 2025 and has been on the LDE’s Board of Directors since 2015.
