CHS Board of Directors member and former chair Dan Schurr has resigned his position on the CHS Board, effective March 30, 2026.
Schurr has accepted a seat on the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company board of directors. In connection with his new role, he has stepped down from the CHS Board prior to completion of his term in December 2026. CHS and Nationwide have collaborated in serving cooperative owners with trusted products and services for many years.
"We thank Dan for his two decades of commitment to CHS and the cooperative system," says CHS Board Chair C.J. Blew. "His vision, insights and dedication to shared success have been instrumental in CHS growth and strength. We know he will continue to be an advocate for cooperatives and for CHS."
Schurr was first elected to the CHS Board by CHS members in Region 7 in 2006. He served as Board chair from 2017 through 2025. His Board seat will remain vacant until the 2026 CHS Annual Meeting, when CHS members from Region 7 elect a new Director to a three-year term. Region 7 includes Iowa and Missouri and nine other states to the south and southeast.
Long-time CHS Board member honored for making the cooperative system stronger, inspiring other leaders.
The deadline to declare candidacy and submit applications is Feb. 15.
CHS members elect five directors to serve on the CHS Board during the cooperatives 2025 Annual Meeting held recently in Minneapolis.
