WestVic Dairy is looking for people who can contribute their skills and experience to help create a vibrant, profitable and valued dairy industry.
The organisation is recruiting for four directors to join the board of eight. Three farmer positions and one specialist (non-farmer) position will become vacant at the AGM on Tuesday, October 8.
WestVic Dairy chair and farmer director Brendan Rea said the director positions offered the opportunity to shape the south-west Victorian dairy industry for the better.
“The board works in partnership with Dairy Australia and has regional oversight of the levy spend to deliver positive outcomes for south-west Victorian dairy farmers,” Brendan said.
“As a director you have the chance to determine regional priorities and to develop strategic and operating plans to address these priorities.”
Brendan encouraged anyone who was passionate about the region’s dairy industry to apply.
“I encourage those who are interested to submit an application,” he said.
“It’s a terrific opportunity to give back, shape the industry’s future, and develop your leadership skills.
“It’s also extremely rewarding to work with a team of like-minded individuals who want what’s best for our region’s dairy farmers and industry.
“Your knowledge and input would be most welcomed by our board of directors and also assist in providing regional intelligence to Dairy Australia to inform their planning processes and investment decisions.”
Applications close at 5pm on Thursday, August 15.
