Feb 3, 2023
This is a busy year for NZDFA appointed positions as we have five positions becoming available by rotation (appointment by nomination and election, if necessary):
- Two NZDFA Selection and Appointments Panel (SAP) members
- Three NZDFA Executive Committee members
The following members are up for re-election or retirement:
- Leith Chick (SAP, appointed 2022 for 12-month term)
- Donald Whyte (SAP, appointed 2021)
- Justin Stevens (EC, appointed, 2021)
- Mark McCoard (EC, appointed 2021)
- Jamie Ward (EC, appointed 2022 for 12-month term)
The NZDFA needs leaders to maintain an effective voice for farmers at the industry level, pan-agricultural sector level and with regional and central government so we encourage you to think about any of these positions.
This is a chance to shape the association's future and have a say in the industry as all positions are responsible for appointing our four producer representatives to the Deer Industry New Zealand (DINZ) board.
There is also a position coming up for a producer appointed member on the DINZ board with the retirement of Kris Orange by rotation.
