Colorado CCA Board of Directors

The Colorado CCA Board administers the Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) program in Colorado, with assistance from the International CCA program which is sponsored by the American Society of Agronomy with offices in Madison, Wisconsin.

The Colorado CCA board consists of nine individuals who represent various Colorado governmental institutions and agencies, as well as industry groups involved in supplying production inputs and advising growers in Colorado. They are:

Each Board member is appointed by their sponsoring organization for a 3-year term and is eligible to serve two terms. The 3-year terms of all members are on a staggered basis so the terms of only one-third of the Board members are completed each year. The Board elects a chair for a 1-year term each fall; this individual may be reappointed.

There are three standing committees. They are:

Exam Committee: 

Prepares and selects questions for each Colorado CCA exam, and evaluates the results of each exam to improve questions for future exams.

• Chair: Troy Bauder
• Members: Kent Davis, Ron Schierer

Standards and Ethics Committee: 

Evaluates all new CCA application forms for proper credentials and acceptance by the Colorado CCA Board. Also, investigates reports of possible ethics violations of current Colorado CCAs.

• Chair: Lanny Huston
• Members: Gary Schaneman,Brad Shean

Promotion, Marketing, and Education Committee: 

Promotes the CCA program. Evaluates all CCA Continuing Education Unit (CEU) application forms submitted for Colorado training, assigns proper credits, and submits the approved forms to the ICCA office. Informs all Colorado CCAs of training opportunities with Board-approved CEUs.

• Members: John Mortvedt, Erin Kress, Sandra McDonald

The Colorado CCA Board welcomes suggestions from the members concerning the conduct of this program in Colorado.
