Levy payers have until October 17 to cast their vote.

Levy-paying dairy farmers have only a few days left to vote in DairyNZ’s board of directors election, with voting closing at noon on Thursday, October 17.

Voting rates are tracking about on par with the previous few years.

Two DairyNZ board positions are available at the election.

Farmers can learn more about the three candidates – Jacqueline Rowarth (Tirau), Richard McIntyre (Levin), and Kylie Leonard (Taupō) – through their profiles, videos and a recording of DairyNZ’s Meet the Candidates webinar, all available online at dairynz.co.nz/elections.

To vote, farmers should use the details in their voting pack or email to log onto the voting site and cast their vote.

The successful candidates will join DairyNZ’s board, which consists of five farmer-elected directors and three board-appointed independent directors.

There are also four resolutions for farmers to vote on 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 capturing recent feedback from farmers.

This year the AGM will be held at the Clearwater Golf Club in Christchurch from 7pm on Tuesday, October 22.
