Dairy farmers with an interest in governance are encouraged to apply for two associate director roles at DairyNZ says Jim van der Poel.
The DairyNZ chair spoke to The Country Early Edition's Rowena Duncum about the roles, saying they were an opportunity for farmers
to participate in discussion and debate.
"It gives them a stint where they can come on to the DairyNZ board and contribute to the conversation and discussions and some of the strategic decisions we make" said Van der Poel, who was keen for young people to get involved.
"They're often farmers who are still actively farming, often earlier in their careers and so they bring that perspective with them".
