Less hot air
OPINION: Farmers won't get any credit for this from the daily media, so Milking It is giving the bouquets where they’re due.
This year, three candidates are vying for two vacant positions on the DairyNZ board.
Farmers have until 12 noon Thursday, October 17, to cast their votes.
Voter packs were sent out today, September 19, and once received farmers can vote either online or by post.
This year’s board of directors candidates are Jacqueline Rowarth, Richard McIntyre, and Kylie Leonard.
This year, DairyNZ is hosting a ‘Meet the Candidates’ webinar, on Friday, September 20, at 7pm.
DairyNZ’s Board consists of five farmer-elected directors and three board-appointed directors. This year, chair Jim van der Poel is retiring, and Jacqueline Rowarth is retiring by rotation and is re-standing.

Outside of the candidate vote, there are four resolutions for farmers to ratify in their vote pack, including the appointment of independent director David Hunt and changes to the Rules of DairyNZ to reflect new regulatory changes and capture recent feedback from farmers.
Further details on the resolutions and proposed changes are available in the Notice of Meeting booklet in farmer voting packs and online. More information on the candidates and voting process are available at dairynz.co.nz/elections
