​As a regional cooperative, GROWMARK is led by a 16 member board of directors, all full-time agricultural producers elected directly by the member cooperatives that own GROWMARK. Members of the GROWMARK Board of Directors participate in the development of the GROWMARK System strategic plan and are committed to transparency, open communication, and ethical oversight.

All GROWMARK directors undergo comprehensive training and complete the GROWMARK Certified Cooperative Director Program. This program is designed to increase the knowledge, skills, and abilities of board members to better carry out their individual and team leadership roles as cooperative directors. In order to provide for the further education and certification of System leadership, GROWMARK recently established the Advanced Director Certification Program, a 12-month intensive program to broaden business perspective, increase knowledge of strategic System issues, and enhance leadership skills.
