Dairy and beef producers within the contiguous U.S. have the opportunity to become Genex members, delegates and directors. Becoming a member is simple and rewarding. It allows you to have grassroots input in the governance of your cooperative!

What are the benefits of becoming a Genex member? As a Genex member, you...
 • Have voting privileges allowing you to have a voice in the governance of the cooperative.
 • Have the opportunity to participate in district and member appreciation meetings.
 • Receive equity in the cooperative.
 • Can become a Genex delegate or a Genex director.

How do I become a member? To become a member, simply:
 • Purchase $200 of semen, products and/or services in a 12-month period.
 • Complete a membership form.
 • Have your social security number or tax identification number on file at Genex.

Do I have to attend regular meetings?
 • Members are invited to one meeting each year. This meeting is the cooperative's chance to thank members for their involvement.

What does it cost to become member?
 • No fee is required to become a Genex member. Simply meet the above requirements of purchasing $200 worth of products, semen and/or services in a 12-month period, completing a membership form and having your social security number or tax identification number on file at Genex to become a member.

As a member, how is my opinion heard by the cooperative?
 • As a producer member you will have the chance to elect a delegate for your district. Each delegate represents approximately 100 members.
 • Each delegate represents his or her district at a fall input meeting and at the annual meetings each March.
 • Delegates gather as a region to elect their board member. Board members from 13 regions comprise the Genex Board of Directors.
 • Thus, as a producer member your opinions are brought to the attention of the governing board by the elected delegate for your district.
