2023 Fair Committees
qualifications
Committees are appointed annually by the President, Vice-President and Treasurer in accordance with Article III, Section 2 of the By Laws. Committees
are comprised of but are not limited to Directors of the Putnam County Agricultural Society. Occasionally, at the discretion of the Board, an auxiliary
committee member from outside the board may be appointed based on an individual’s expertise and experience as well as the fair’s needs. Committee
chairpersons however must be current or past directors and/or officers even though primary management and operation may be delegated to a qualified
individual from outside the board. The following list contains the Committees for the current Fiscal year and Fair Planning, Organization and Operation.
