Nominations have opened for two farmers to join DairyNZ's Board of Directors.
Dairy farmers have until Thursday, September 5, to get nominations in. This year, elections are taking place for two farmer-elected directors and a Directors Remuneration Committee member.
DairyNZ chairman Jim van der Poel encourages dairy farmers who are strategic thinkers, future focused and have experience in governance and leadership to consider applying.
"Farmer-elected directors play a really key role on DairyNZ's board and we are keen to have skilled, forward-thinking dairy leaders join our team," said Mr van der Poel.
"So we are looking for people who understand farm systems, research and development, policy and advocacy. Candidates should also have an understanding and interest in driving Dairy Tomorrow and therefore a vision of what the future of dairy looks like."
