WestVic Dairy is recruiting for four directors to join the board of eight.

Three farmer positions and one specialist (non-farmer) position become vacant at the AGM on Tuesday, October 8.

Board chair and farmer director Brendan Rea said the director positions offer 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,” he said.

“As a director you have the chance to determine regional priorities and to develop strategic and operating plans to address these priorities.”

Mr Rea encouraged those who are passionate about the regions 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 likeminded individuals who want what’s best for our regions 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.”

Those who are up for the challenge of this fulfilling role are invited to apply before applications close 5pm Thursday, August 15.
