HortNZ levy vote looming
Commercial fruit and vegetable growers are being urged to their say in the upcoming levy referendum to enable Horticulture New Zealand (HortNZ) to continue its work for the sector.
There are four awards to be presented at the horticulture industry conference in August.
The awards are:
The Bledisloe Cup - awarded for an outstanding and meritorious contribution to the New Zealand horticulture industry.
The HortNZ President's Trophy - to celebrate inspiring leadership within the horticulture industry.
The HortNZ Industry Service Award - to recognise people with long and dedicated service in a supplier or service role (not a grower) that have worked beyond the call of duty for the betterment of the horticulture industry.
And the HortNZ Life Member - to recognise growers with long and dedicated service as office holders of HortNZ and/or an affiliated Product Group or affiliated Grower Association.
Nominations must be received by 5pm on Thursday 16 June 2016.
Any grower member of HortNZ, an affiliated Product Group or an affiliated Grower Association can make nominations.
Forms are on the website www.hortnz.co.nz
